99 Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble.
    He sits enthroned among the cherubim.
    Let the earth be moved.
Yahweh is great in Zion.
    He is high above all the peoples.
Let them praise your great and awesome name.
    He is Holy!

The King’s strength also loves justice.
    You establish equity.
    You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt Yahweh our God.
    Worship at his footstool.
    He is Holy!

Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
    Samuel was among those who call on his name.
    They called on Yahweh, and he answered them.
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud.
    They kept his testimonies,
    the statute that he gave them.
You answered them, Yahweh our God.
    You are a God who forgave them,
    although you took vengeance for their doings.
Exalt Yahweh, our God.
    Worship at his holy hill,
    for Yahweh, our God, is holy!

Psalm 99

The Lord is king!
    Let the nations tremble!
He sits on his throne between the cherubim.
    Let the whole earth quake!
The Lord sits in majesty in Jerusalem,[a]
    exalted above all the nations.
Let them praise your great and awesome name.
    Your name is holy!
Mighty King, lover of justice,
    you have established fairness.
You have acted with justice
    and righteousness throughout Israel.[b]
Exalt the Lord our God!
    Bow low before his feet, for he is holy!

Moses and Aaron were among his priests;
    Samuel also called on his name.
They cried to the Lord for help,
    and he answered them.
He spoke to Israel from the pillar of cloud,
    and they followed the laws and decrees he gave them.
O Lord our God, you answered them.
    You were a forgiving God to them,
    but you punished them when they went wrong.

Exalt the Lord our God,
    and worship at his holy mountain in Jerusalem,
    for the Lord our God is holy!
