Psalms 99

Psalm 99

Praise to the Lord for His Fidelity to Israel.

1The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble [with submissive wonder]! He sits enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake!

2The Lord is great in Zion, And He is exalted and magnified above all the peoples.

3Let them [reverently] praise Your great and awesome name; Holy is He.

4The strength of the King loves justice and righteous judgment; You have established fairness; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob (Israel).

5Exalt the Lord our God And worship at His footstool; Holy is He.

6Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called on His name; They called upon the Lord and He answered them.

7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud; They kept His testimonies And the statutes that He gave them.

8You answered them, O Lord our God; You were a forgiving God to them, And yet an avenger of their evil practices.

9Exalt the Lord our God And worship at His holy hill [Zion, the temple mount], For the Lord our God is holy.
