Psalms of My Life (Psalm 99)

Psalm 99

¹ The Lord reigns,
    let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
    let the earth shake.
² Great is the Lord in Zion;
    he is exalted over all the nations.
³ Let them praise your great and awesome name—
    he is holy.

⁴ The King is mighty, he loves justice—
    you have established equity;
in Jacob you have done
    what is just and right.
⁵ Exalt the Lord our God
    and worship at his footstool;
    he is holy.

⁶ Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
    Samuel was among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord
    and he answered them.
⁷ He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;
    they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.

⁸ Lord our God,
    you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,
    though you punished their misdeeds.^[a]
9 Exalt the Lord our God
    and worship at his holy mountain,
    for the Lord our God is holy.
