Psalm 99
1The Lord rules as king.
Let the people tremble.
He is enthroned over the angels.#99:1 Or “cherubim.”
Let the earth quake.
2The Lord is mighty in Zion.
He is high above all people.
3Let them give thanks to your great and fearful name.
He is holy!
4The king’s strength is that he loves justice.
You have established fairness.
You have done what is fair and right for Jacob.
5Highly honor the Lord our God.
Bow down at his footstool.
He is holy!
6Moses and Aaron were among his priests.
Samuel was among those who prayed to him.
They called to the Lord, and he answered them.
7He spoke to them from a column of smoke.
They obeyed his written instructions and the laws that he gave them.
8O Lord, our God, you answered them.
You showed them that you are a forgiving God
and that you are a God who punishes their ⌞sinful⌟ deeds.
9Highly honor the Lord our God.
Bow at his holy mountain.
The Lord our God is holy!

Psalms 99
99
1-3 God rules. On your toes, everybody!
He rules from his angel throne—take notice!
God looms majestic in Zion,
He towers in splendor over all the big names.
Great and terrible your beauty: let everyone praise you!
Holy. Yes, holy.
4-5Strong King, lover of justice,
You laid things out fair and square;
You set down the foundations in Jacob,
Foundation stones of just and right ways.
Honor God, our God; worship his rule!
Holy. Yes, holy.
6-9Moses and Aaron were his priests,
Samuel among those who prayed to him.
They prayed to God and he answered them;
He spoke from the pillar of cloud.
And they did what he said; they kept the law he gave them.
And then God, our God, answered them
(But you were never soft on their sins).
Lift high God, our God; worship at his holy mountain.
Holy. Yes, holy is God our God.
