Psalm 99
Good News Translation

God the Supreme King

99 (A)The Lord is king,
    and the people tremble.
He sits on his throne above the winged creatures,
    and the earth shakes.
2 The Lord is mighty in Zion;
    he is supreme over all the nations.
3 Everyone will praise his great and majestic name.
    Holy is he!

4 Mighty king,[a] you love what is right;
    you have established justice in Israel;
    you have brought righteousness and fairness.
5 Praise the Lord our God;
    worship before his throne!
    Holy is he!

6 Moses and Aaron were his priests,
    and Samuel was one who prayed to him;
    they called to the Lord, and he answered them.
7 (B)He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;
    they obeyed the laws and commands that he gave them.

8 O Lord, our God, you answered your people;
    you showed them that you are a God who forgives,
    even though you punished them for their sins.
9 Praise the Lord our God,
    and worship at his sacred hill![b]
The Lord our God is holy.
