Psalm 99

New American Standard Bible

Praise to the Lord for His Faithfulness to Israel.

99 ^(A)The Lord reigns, ^[a]the peoples tremble!
He ^(B)sits enthroned above the cherubim, ^[b]the earth quakes!
²The Lord ^[c]is ^(C)great in Zion,
And He is ^(D)exalted above all the peoples.
³May they praise Your ^(E)great and awesome name;
^(F)Holy is ^[d]He.
⁴The ^[e]strength of the King ^(G)loves ^[f]justice;
You have established ^[g]^(H)order;
You have ^(I)executed ^[h]justice and righteousness in Jacob.
⁵^[i]^(J)Exalt the Lord our God
And ^(K)worship at His footstool;
^(L)Holy is He.

⁶^(M)Moses and Aaron were among His ^(N)priests,
And ^(O)Samuel was among those who ^(P)called on His name;
They ^(Q)called upon the Lord and He answered them.
⁷He ^(R)spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
They ^(S)kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.
⁸Lord our God, You ^(T)answered them;
You were a ^(U)forgiving God to them,
And yet an ^(V)avenger of their evil deeds.
⁹Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His holy hill,
For the Lord our God is holy.
