Psalms 99 (WEB)

Psalm 99

1 Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble.

He sits enthroned among the cherubim.

Let the earth be moved.

2 Yahweh is great in Zion.

He is high above all the peoples.

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name.

He is Holy!

4 The King’s strength also loves justice.

You do establish equity.

You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt Yahweh our God.

Worship at his footstool.

He is Holy!

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests,

Samuel among those who call on his name;

they called on Yahweh, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud.

They kept his testimonies,

the statute that he gave them.

8 You answered them, Yahweh our God.

You are a God who forgave them,

although you took vengeance for their doings.

9 Exalt Yahweh, our God.

Worship at his holy hill,

for Yahweh, our God, is holy!
