Psalm 99 | English Standard Version

The Lord Our God Is Holy

1 The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake! 2 The Lord is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples. 3 Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he! 4 The King in his might loves justice.* You have established equity; you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. 5 Exalt the Lord our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he! 6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also was among those who called upon his name. They called to the Lord, and he answered them. 7 In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them; they kept his testimonies and the statute that he gave them. 8 O Lord our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings. 9 Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy!

New International Reader’s Version
1 The LORD rules. Let the nations tremble. He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the earth shake. 2 Great is the LORD in Zion. He is honoured over all the nations. 3 Let them praise his great and wonderful name. He is holy. 4 The King is mighty and loves justice. He has set up the rules for fairness. He has done what is right and fair for the people of Jacob. 5 Honour the LORD our God. Worship at his feet. He is holy. 6 Moses and Aaron were two of his priests. Samuel was one of those who worshipped him. They called out to the LORD. And he answered them. 7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud. They obeyed his laws and the orders he gave them. 8 LORD our God, you answered them. You showed Israel that you are a God who forgives. But when they did wrong, you punished them. 9 Honour the LORD our God. Worship at his holy mountain. The LORD our God is holy.
