Psalm 99
The Holy King
I
1 The Lord is king, the peoples tremble;
he is enthroned on the cherubim, the earth quakes.
2 Great is the Lord in Zion,
exalted above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise your great and awesome name:
Holy is he!
II
4 O mighty king, lover of justice,
you have established fairness;
you have created just rule in Jacob.
5 Exalt the Lord, our God;
bow down before his footstool;
holy is he!
III
6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord, and he answered them.
7 From the pillar of cloud he spoke to them;
they kept his decrees, the law he had given them.
8 O Lord, our God, you answered them;
you were a forgiving God to them,
though you punished their offenses.
9 Exalt the Lord, our God;
bow down before his holy mountain;
holy is the Lord, our God.
