Psalms 99:2-9 ▼

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

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

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

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

6 Moses 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.

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

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

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