Psalms 99
God, righteous and holy king
1 Yahweh is king, the nations tremble; he is enthroned on the cherubs, earth quakes;
2 Yahweh is great in Zion. He is high over all nations;
3 may they praise your great and terrible name, ‘Holy is he,
4 and mighty!’ You are a king who loves justice, insisting on honesty, justice, virtue, as you have done for Jacob.
5 Let us extol Yahweh our God, and worship at his footstool, ‘Holy is he!’
6 Moses, Aaron one of his priests, and Samuel his votary, all invoked Yahweh: and he answered them.
7 He talked with them in the pillar of cloud; they obeyed his decrees, the Law he gave them.
8 Yahweh our God, you responded to them, a God of forgiveness for them, in spite of punishing their sins.
9 Extol Yahweh our God, worship at his holy mountain, ‘Holy is Yahweh our God!’
