Psalm 99

Common English Bible

Psalm 99

99 The Lord rules—
    the nations shake!
    He sits enthroned on the winged heavenly creatures—
    the earth quakes!
²The Lord is great in Zion;
    he is exalted over all the nations.
³Let them thank your great and awesome name.
    He is holy!

⁴Strong king^[a] who loves justice,
    you are the one who established what is fair.
    You worked justice and righteousness in Jacob.
⁵Magnify the Lord, our God!
    Bow low at his footstool!
    He is holy!
⁶Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
    Samuel too among those who called on his name.
They cried out to the Lord, and he himself answered them—
⁷    he spoke to them from a pillar of cloud.
They kept the laws and the rules God gave to them.
⁸Lord our God, you answered them.
    To them you were a God who forgives
    but also the one who avenged their wrong deeds.
⁹Magnify the Lord our God!
    Bow low at his holy mountain
    because the Lord our God is holy!
