Chapter 99 :

Praise to God for His Holiness

1 The LORD is king; let the peoples tremble!
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!

2 The LORD is great in Zion;
he is exalted over all the peoples.

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name.
Holy is he!

4 Mighty King, lover of justice,
you have established equity;
you have executed justice
and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Extol the LORD our God;
worship at his footstool.
Holy is he!

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel also was among those who called on his name.
They cried to the LORD, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
they kept his decrees,
and the statutes that he gave them.

8 O LORD our God, you answered them;
you were a forgiving God to them,
but an avenger of their wrongdoings.

9 Extol the LORD our God,
and worship at his holy mountain;
for the LORD our God is holy.
