Psalm 99

The King Is Holy

¹The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble.

He is enthroned between the cherubim. ^a

Let the earth quake. ^b

²The Lord is great in Zion;

he is exalted above all the peoples. ^c

³Let them praise your great

and awe-inspiring name. ^d

He is holy. ^e

⁴The mighty King loves justice.

You have established fairness;

you have administered justice

and righteousness in Jacob. ^f

⁵Exalt the Lord our God;

bow in worship at his footstool. ^g

He is holy. ^h

⁶Moses and Aaron were among his priests; ⁱ

Samuel also was among those calling on his name.

They called to the Lord and he answered them. ^j

⁷He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; ^k

they kept his decrees and the statutes he gave them.

⁸Lord our God, you answered them.

You were a forgiving God to them, ^l

but an avenger of their sinful actions. ^m

⁹Exalt the Lord our God;

bow in worship at his holy mountain,

for the Lord our God is holy. ⁿ
