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
Yahweh Is a Holy King
1Yahweh is king; let the peoples tremble.
He sits enthroned#Or “dwells” between the cherubim. Let the earth shake.
2Yahweh is great in Zion,
and he is exalted over all the peoples.
3Let them praise your great and fearful name.
He is holy.
4And the strength of the king loves justice.#The interpretation of this line is uncertain
You have established equity;
you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5Exalt Yahweh our God,
and worship at his footstool.
He is holy.
6Moses and Aaron were among his priests;
Samuel also was among those who called on his name.
They called to Yahweh, and he answered them.
7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud.
They kept his testimonies and the statute he gave to them.
8O Yahweh our God, you answered them.
You were a forgiving God to them,
but an avenger of their wrong deeds.
9Exalt Yahweh our God,
and worship at his holy mountain,
for Yahweh our God is holy.
