PSALM 99

    ¹The LORD reigns—peoples tremble,

          enthroned upon cherubim—the earth shakes.

    ²The LORD is great in Zion

          and exalted over all the peoples.

    ³They acclaim Your name:

          “Great and fearful,

                He is holy.

    ⁴And with a king’s strength He loves justice.”

          You firmly founded righteousness,

                judgment and justice in Jacob You made.

    ⁵Exalt the LORD our God

          and bow down to His footstool.

                He is holy.

    ⁶Moses and Aaron among His priests

          and Samuel among those who call on His name

                called to the LORD and He answered them.

    ⁷In a pillar of cloud did He speak to them.

          They kept His precepts and the statute He gave them.

    ⁸LORD our God, it was You Who answered them,

          a forbearing God You were to them,

                yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

    ⁹Exalt the LORD our God

          and bow to His holy mountain,

                for the LORD our God is holy.
