Psalms 99

The King Is Holy

1The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He is enthroned between the cherubim. Let the earth quake.

2The Lord is great in Zion; he is exalted above all the peoples.

3Let them praise your great and awe-inspiring name. He is holy.

4The mighty King loves justice. You have established fairness; you have administered justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5Exalt the Lord our God; bow in worship at his footstool. He is holy.

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel also was among those calling on his name. They called to the Lord and he answered them.

7He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his decrees and the statutes he gave them.

8Lord our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their sinful actions.

9Exalt the Lord our God; bow in worship at his holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy.
