Psalms 99
Praise to the Lord for His Fidelity to Israel.
1 (a)The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble;
He [a](b)is enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake!
2 The Lord [b]is (c)great in Zion,
And He is (d)exalted above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your (e)great and awesome name;
(f)Holy is [c]He.
4 The [d]strength of the King (g)loves [e]justice;
You have established [f](h)equity;
You have (i)executed [g]justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 [h](j)Exalt the Lord our God
And (k)worship at His footstool;
(l)Holy is He.
6 (m)Moses and Aaron were among His (n)priests,
And (o)Samuel was among those who (p)called on His name;
They (q)called upon the Lord and He answered them.
7 He (r)spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
They (s)kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.
8 O Lord our God, You (t)answered them;
You were a (u)forgiving God to them,
And yet an (v)avenger of their evil deeds.
9 Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His holy hill,
For holy is the Lord our God.
