Psalm 99

English Standard Version

The Lord Our God Is Holy

99 ^(A)The Lord reigns; ^(B)let the peoples tremble!
    He ^(C)sits enthroned upon the cherubim; ^(D)let the earth quake!
²The Lord is ^(E)great in Zion;
    he is ^(F)exalted over all the peoples.
³Let them praise your ^(G)great and awesome name!
    ^(H)Holy is he!
⁴^(I)The King in his might ^(J)loves justice.^[a]
    You have established equity;
you have executed justice
    and righteousness in Jacob.
⁵^(K)Exalt the Lord our God;
    ^(L)worship at his ^(M)footstool!
    ^(N)Holy is he!

⁶^(O)Moses and Aaron were among his ^(P)priests,
    Samuel also was among those who ^(Q)called upon his name.
    They ^(R)called to the Lord, and he answered them.
⁷In ^(S)the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;
    they ^(T)kept his testimonies
    and the statute that he gave them.

⁸O Lord our God, you answered them;
    you were ^(U)a forgiving God to them,
    but ^(V)an avenger of their wrongdoings.
⁹Exalt the Lord our God,
    and worship at his ^(W)holy mountain;
    for the Lord our God is holy!

Shepherd the Flock of God

5 So I exhort the elders among you, ^(A)as a fellow elder and ^(B)a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: ²^(C)shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,^[a] ^(D)not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;^[b] ^(E)not for shameful gain, but eagerly; ³not ^(F)domineering over those in your charge, but ^(G)being examples to the flock. ⁴And when ^(H)the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the ^(I)unfading ^(J)crown of glory. ⁵Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. ^(K)Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ^(L)“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
