Psalms 99

1A psalm of praise.

1The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

2Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness. Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy.

2The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

3Know ye that the Lord he is God: he made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

3Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

4Go ye into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise ye his name:

4The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

5For the Lord is sweet, his mercy endureth for ever, and his truth to generation and generation.

5Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
