Psalms 99

Praise to the Lord for His Holiness

1 The Lord reigns;

Let the peoples tremble!

*Ex. 25:22; 1 Sam. 4:4; Ps. 80:1He dwells between the cherubim;

Let the earth be moved!

2 The Lordis great in Zion,

And He is high above all the peoples.

3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name—

He is holy.

4 The King’s strength also loves justice;

You have established equity;

You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt the Lord our God,

And worship at His footstool—

He is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests,

And Samuel was among those who *1 Sam. 7:9; 12:18called upon His name;

They called upon the Lord, and He answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar;

They kept His testimonies and the ordinance He gave them.

8 You answered them, O Lord our God;

You were to them God-Who-Forgives,

Though You took vengeance on their deeds.

9 Exalt the Lord our God,

And worship at His holy hill;

For the Lord our God is holy.
