Psalm 99

Psalm 99

1 The Lord is king!
    Let the nations tremble!
He sits on his throne between the cherubim.
    Let the whole earth quake!
2 The Lord sits in majesty in Jerusalem,[a]
    exalted above all the nations.
3 Let them praise your great and awesome name.
    Your name is holy!
4 Mighty King, lover of justice,
    you have established fairness.
You have acted with justice
    and righteousness throughout Israel.[b]
5 Exalt the Lord our God!
    Bow low before his feet, for he is holy!

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests;
    Samuel also called on his name.
They cried to the Lord for help,
    and he answered them.
7 He spoke to Israel from the pillar of cloud,
    and they followed the laws and decrees he gave them.
8 O Lord our God, you answered them.
    You were a forgiving God to them,
    but you punished them when they went wrong.

9 Exalt the Lord our God,
    and worship at his holy mountain in Jerusalem,
    for the Lord our God is holy!
