Psalms 99
1The Lord reigns,let the nations tremble;he sits enthroned between the cherubim,let the earth shake. 2Great is the Lord in Zion;he is exalted over all the nations. 3Let them praise your great and awesome name—he is holy. 4The King is mighty, he loves justice—you have established equity;in Jacob you have donewhat is just and right. 5Exalt the Lord our Godand worship at his footstool;he is holy. 6Moses and Aaron were among his priests,Samuel was among those who called on his name;they called on the Lordand he answered them. 7He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them. 8Lord our God,you answered them;you were to Israel a forgiving God,though you punished their misdeeds. 9Exalt the Lord our Godand worship at his holy mountain,for the Lord our God is holy.
