Psalms 99

The LORD reigns. Let the peoples shake. He sits between the cherubim. Let the earth be moved. The LORD is great in Zion, and he's high above all the peoples. Let them praise your great and terrible name — for it is holy. The king's strength also loves judgment; you establish equity, and you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

He's holy

The LORD reigns. Let the peoples shake. He sits between the cherubim. Let the earth be moved. The LORD is great in Zion, and he's high above all the peoples. Let them praise your great and terrible name — for it is holy. The king's strength also loves judgment; you establish equity, and you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his footstool, for he is holy. Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel among those who called on his name. They called on the LORD and he answered them. He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar; they kept his instructions and the rule he gave them. You answered them, Lord our God. You were a God who forgave them, though you settled up on what they did. Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his holy hill, for the LORD our God is holy.

The Lord reigns. Let the peoples shake. He sits between the cherubim. Let the earth be shifted. The Lord is great in Zion, and he's high above all the peoples. Let them praise your great and terrifying name — it's holy. The king's strength loves judgment too. You set up what's straight. You do judgment and righteousness in Jacob. Lift the Lord our God high and bow down at his footstool, because he's holy. Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel among the ones who called on his name. They called on the Lord and he answered them. He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies and the rule he gave them. You answered them, Lord our God. You were a God who forgave them, though you settled up on what they did. Lift the Lord our God high and bow down at his holy hill, because the Lord our God is holy.

The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
