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.

PSALM 99
1Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth between the cherubim: let the earth be moved. 2Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples. 3They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! — 4And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. 5Exalt Jehovah our God#GodHebrew: Elohim and worship at his footstool. He is holy!
6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them. 7He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them. 8Jehovah, our God#GodHebrew: Elohim thou answeredst them: a forgiving ·God#GodHebrew: El wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings. 9Exalt Jehovah our God#GodHebrew: Elohim and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God#GodHebrew: Elohim.
