Psalm 99 (BSB)

The Lord Reigns!

1The 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!99:3 Or it is holy!

4The mighty King loves justice.99:4 Or The might of the 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!

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.
