Psalm 99

New International Reader's Version

99 The Lord rules.
    Let the nations tremble.
He sits on his throne between the cherubim.
    Let the earth shake.
² Great is the Lord in Zion.
    He is honored over all the nations.
³ Let them praise his great and wonderful name.
    He is holy.

⁴ The King is mighty and loves justice.
    He has set up the rules for fairness.
He has done what is right and fair
    for the people of Jacob.
⁵ Honor the Lord our God.
    Worship at his feet.
    He is holy.

⁶ Moses and Aaron were two of his priests.
    Samuel was one of those who worshiped him.
They called out to the Lord.
    And he answered them.
⁷ He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud.
    They obeyed his laws and the orders he gave them.

⁸ Lord our God, you answered them.
    You showed Israel that you are a God who forgives.
    But when they did wrong, you punished them.
⁹ Honor the Lord our God.
    Worship at his holy mountain.
    The Lord our God is holy.
