Psalm 99

1The Lord reigns!

The nations tremble.

He sits enthroned above the winged angels;

the earth shakes.

2The Lord is elevated in Zion;

he is exalted over all the nations.

3Let them praise your great and awesome name!

He is holy!

4The king is strong;

he loves justice.

You ensure that legal decisions will be made fairly;

you promote justice and equity in Jacob.

5Praise the Lord our God!

Worship before his footstool!

He is holy!

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests;

Samuel was one of those who prayed to him.

They prayed to the Lord and he answered them.

7He spoke to them from a pillar of cloud;

they obeyed his regulations and the ordinance he gave them.

8O Lord our God, you answered them.

They found you to be a forgiving God,

but also one who punished their sinful deeds.

9Praise the Lord our God!

Worship on his holy hill,

for the Lord our God is holy!
