PSALM 99
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Th' eternal Lord doth reign as king,
let all the people quake;
He sits between the cherubims,
let th' earth be mov'd and shake.
2The Lord in Sion great and high
above all people is;
3Thy great and dreadful name (for it
is holy) let them bless.
4The king's strength also judgment loves;
thou settlest equity:
Just judgment thou dost execute
in Jacob righteously.
5The Lord our God exalt on high,
and rev'rently do ye
Before his footstool worship him:
the Holy One is he.
6Moses and Aaron 'mong his priests,
Samuel, with them that call
Upon his name: these call'd on God,
and he them answer'd all.
7Within the pillar of the cloud
he unto them did speak:
The testimonies he them taught,
and laws, they did not break.
8Thou answer'dst them, O Lord our God;
thou wast a God that gave
Pardon to them, though on their deeds
thou wouldest vengeance have.
9Do ye exalt the Lord our God,
and at his holy hill
Do ye him worship: for the Lord
our God is holy still.

Our LORD is king
1Our LORD, you are King!#Ex 25.22.
You rule from your throne
above the winged creatures,#99.1 winged creatures: See the note at 80.1.
as people tremble
and the earth shakes.
2You are praised in Zion,
and you control all nations.
3Only you are God!
And your power alone,
so great and fearsome,
is worthy of praise.
4You are our mighty King,#99.4 You…King: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
a lover of fairness,
who sees that justice is done
everywhere in Israel.
5Our LORD and our God,
we praise you
and kneel down to worship you,
the God of holiness!
6Moses and Aaron were two
of your priests.
Samuel was also one of those
who prayed in your name,
and you, our LORD,
answered their prayers.
7You spoke to them#Ex 33.9.
from a thick cloud,
and they obeyed your laws.
8Our LORD and our God,
you answered their prayers
and forgave their sins,
but when they did wrong,
you punished them.
9We praise you, LORD God,
and we worship you
at your sacred mountain.
Only you are God!
