Psalms 99

   |   

Our Lord Is King

1 Our Lord, you are King!
    You rule from your throne
above the winged creatures,[a]
    as people tremble
    and the earth shakes.
2 You are praised in Zion,
    and you control all nations.
3 Only you are God!
    And your power alone,
    so great and fearsome,
    is worthy of praise.
4 You are our mighty King,[b]
    a lover of fairness,
    who sees that justice is done
    everywhere in Israel.
5 Our Lord and our God,
    we praise you
    and kneel down to worship you,
    the God of holiness!

6 Moses and Aaron were two
    of your priests.
Samuel was also one of those
    who prayed in your name,
    and you, our Lord,
    answered their prayers.
7 You spoke to them
from a thick cloud,
    and they obeyed your laws.

8 Our Lord and our God,
you answered their prayers
    and forgave their sins,
    but when they did wrong,
    you punished them.
9 We praise you, Lord God,
    and we worship you
at your sacred mountain.
    Only you are God!
