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.

Psalms 99
99
1The Lord is King,
so let the nations shake with fear.
He sits as King above the Cherub angels,
so let the whole earth shake.
2The Lord in Zion is great!
He is the great leader over all people.
3Let all the nations praise your name.
Your name is great and awesome.
Your name is holy.
4You are the powerful King who loves justice.
You have made things right.
You have brought goodness and fairness to Jacob.
5Praise the Lord our God,
and bow down before his footstool,#99:5 footstool This probably means the Temple. See “Temple” in the Word List. for he is holy.
6Moses and Aaron were some of his priests,
and Samuel was one of the men who called on his name.
They prayed to the Lord,
and he answered them.
7God spoke from the tall cloud,
and they obeyed his commands
and the law he gave them.
8Lord our God, you answered their prayers.
You showed them that you are a forgiving God
and that you punish people for the evil they do.
9Praise the Lord our God.
Bow down toward his holy mountain and worship him.
The Lord our God is holy!
