Psalm 99

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Praise to the Lord for His Fidelity to Israel.

99 The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble;
He ^[a]is enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake!
²The Lord ^[b]is great in Zion,
And He is exalted above all the peoples.
³Let them praise Your great and awesome name;
Holy is ^[c]He.
⁴The ^[d]strength of the King loves ^[e]justice;
You have established ^[f]equity;
You have executed ^[g]justice and righteousness in Jacob.
⁵^[h]Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His footstool;
Holy is He.

⁶Moses 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.
⁷He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
They kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.
⁸O Lord our God, You answered them;
You were a forgiving God to them,
And yet an avenger of their evil deeds.
⁹Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His holy hill,
For holy is the Lord our God.
