Psalms 99

Listen (KJV)

1Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble: He sitteth above the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

2Jehovah is great in Zion; And he is high above all the peoples.

3Let them praise thy great and terrible name: Holy is he.

4The king’s strength also loveth justice; Thou dost establish equity; Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his footstool: Holy is he.

6Moses and Aaron among his priests, And Samuel among them that call upon his name; They called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.

7He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: They kept his testimonies, And the statute that he gave them.

8Thou answeredst them, O Jehovah our God: Thou wast a God that forgavest them, Though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

9Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his holy hill; For Jehovah our God is holy.
