Psalms 99

The Lord is holy

The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake! 2Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples. 3Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!

4The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob. 5Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!a 6Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

7He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them. 8O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds. 9Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
