Psalm 99
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Psalm 99
Praise to God for His Holiness
1 The Lord is king; let the peoples tremble!
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
2 The Lord is great in Zion;
he is exalted over all the peoples.
3 Let them praise your great and awesome name.
Holy is he!
4 Mighty King,[a] lover of justice,
you have established equity;
you have executed justice
and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Extol the Lord our God;
worship at his footstool.
Holy is he!
6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel also was among those who called on his name.
They cried to the Lord, and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
they kept his decrees,
and the statutes that he gave them.
8 O Lord our God, you answered them;
you were a forgiving God to them,
but an avenger of their wrongdoings.
9 Extol the Lord our God,
and worship at his holy mountain;
for the Lord our God is holy.

Psalm 99
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 99
1 The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble:
he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
2 The Lord is great in Zion;
and he is high above all the people.
3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name;
for it is holy.
4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment;
thou dost establish equity,
thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool;
for he is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests,
and Samuel among them that call upon his name;
they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.
7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar:
they kept his testimonies,
and the ordinance that he gave them.
8 Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God:
thou wast a God that forgavest them,
though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
9 Exalt the Lord our God,
and worship at his holy hill;
for the Lord our God is holy.
