Psalms 99:4-9 MSG (The Message)

Strong 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. Moses 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.
