Psalms 99

God of Holiness
1Yahweh is King over all! Everyone trembles in awe before him.
He rules enthroned between the wings of the cherubim.
So let the earth shake and quake in wonder before him!
2For Yahweh is great and glorious in the midst of his Zion-people.
He is exalted above all!
3Let everyone praise this breathtaking God, for he is holy.
4A lover of justice is our mighty King; he is right in all his ways.
He insists on being fair to all,
promoting true justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5So everyone, exalt the Lord our God
facedown before his glory-throne, for he is great and holy.
6God has his praying priests,
like Moses, Aaron, and Samuel, who all interceded,
asking God for help.
God heard their cries and came to their rescue.
7He spoke to them from the pillar of clouds,
and they followed his instructions,
doing everything he told them.
8God, the great forgiver, answered their prayers,
yet he would punish them when they went astray.
9Keep exalting the Lord our God
facedown before his glory-throne, for he is great and holy!

The Holy King
I
1The Lord is king, the peoples tremble;
he is enthroned on the cherubim,#Enthroned on the cherubim: cherubim were composite beings with animal and human features, common in ancient Near Eastern art. Two cherubim were placed on the ark (or box) of the covenant in the holy of holies. Upon them God was believed to dwell invisibly, cf. Ex 25:20–22; 1 Sm 4:4; 2 Sm 6:2; Ps 80:2. the earth quakes.#Ps 18:8–11; 80:2; 93:1; Ex 25:22; 1 Sm 4:4; 2 Sm 6:2.
2Great is the Lord in Zion,
exalted above all the peoples.
3Let them praise your great and awesome name:
Holy is he!#Is 6:3.
II
4O mighty king, lover of justice,
you have established fairness;
you have created just rule in Jacob.#Ps 72:1; Jer 23:5.
5Exalt the Lord, our God;
bow down before his footstool;#Footstool: a reference to the ark, cf. 1 Chr 28:2; Ps 132:7.#Ps 132:7.
holy is he!

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord, and he answered them.#Jer 15:1.
7From the pillar of cloud he spoke to them;
they kept his decrees, the law he had given them.#Ex 33:9; Nm 12:5.
8O Lord, our God, you answered them;
you were a forgiving God to them,
though you punished their offenses.#Ex 32:11; Nm 20:12.
9Exalt the Lord, our God;
bow down before his holy mountain;
holy is the Lord, our God.
