Psalms Chapter 99

1 The LORD reigns;

                  let the people tremble;

      he sits on his throne above the cherubs;

            let the earth quake!

2 The LORD is great in Zion;

      he’s exalted above all nations.

3 Let them praise his great, awesome name;

                                                he is holy.

4 The great King who loves justice

         has established what’s fair for all.

5 Exalt the LORD our God

      and worship at his feet;     he is holy.                              

Ps 99:1-5

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests;

      Samuel too was one who called on him;

      they called on the LORD and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;

         they kept the testimonies and statutes he gave them.

8 He was a forgiving God;

            yet he disciplined them for their sins.

9 Exalt the LORD our God

      and worship on his holy mountain; because

                                                he is holy.                              

Ps 99:6-9
