Psalm 99

New International Version

Psalm 99

¹The Lord reigns,^(A)
    let the nations tremble;^(B)
he sits enthroned^(C) between the cherubim,^(D)
    let the earth shake.
²Great is the Lord^(E) in Zion;^(F)
    he is exalted^(G) over all the nations.
³Let them praise^(H) your great and awesome name^(I)—
    he is holy.^(J)

⁴The King^(K) is mighty, he loves justice^(L)—
    you have established equity;^(M)
in Jacob you have done
    what is just and right.^(N)
⁵Exalt^(O) the Lord our God
    and worship at his footstool;
    he is holy.

⁶Moses^(P) and Aaron^(Q) were among his priests,
    Samuel^(R) was among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord
    and he answered^(S) them.
⁷He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;^(T)
    they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.

⁸Lord our God,
    you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,^(U)
    though you punished^(V) their misdeeds.^[a]
⁹Exalt the Lord our God
    and worship at his holy mountain,
    for the Lord our God is holy.

2 Peter 1:16-21

New International Version

¹⁶For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power,^(A) but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.^(B) ¹⁷He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”^[a]^(C) ¹⁸We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.^(D)

¹⁹We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable,^(E) and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light^(F) shining in a dark place, until the day dawns^(G) and the morning star^(H) rises in your hearts.^(I) ²⁰Above all, you must understand^(J) that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. ²¹For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God^(K) as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.^(L)
