Psalm 99:1-9

Psalm 99

1The Lord rules.

Let the nations tremble.

He sits on his throne between the cherubim.

Let the earth shake.

2Great is the Lord in Zion.

He is honored over all the nations.

3Let them praise his great and wonderful name.

He is holy.

4The 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.

5Honor the Lord our God.

Worship at his feet.

He is holy.

6Moses 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.

7He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud.

They obeyed his laws and the orders he gave them.

8Lord our God, you answered them.

You showed Israel that you are a God who forgives.

But when they did wrong, you punished them.

9Honor the Lord our God.

Worship at his holy mountain.

The Lord our God is holy.
