from Biblica1The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake.2Great is the Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations.3Let them praise your great and awesome name – he is holy.4The King is mighty, he loves justice – you have established equity; in Jacob you have done what is just and right.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 on the Lord and he answered them.7He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.8Lord our God, you answered them; you were to Israel a forgiving God, though you punished their misdeeds.[1]9Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy.
Psalm 99
New International Reader’s Version
from Biblica1The LORD rules. Let the nations tremble. He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the earth shake.2Great is the LORD in Zion. He is honoured over all the nations.3Let them praise his great and wonderful name. He is holy.4The 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.5Honour the LORD our God. Worship at his feet. He is holy.6Moses 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.7He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud. They obeyed his laws and the orders he gave them.8LORD our God, you answered them. You showed Israel that you are a God who forgives. But when they did wrong, you punished them.9Honour the LORD our God. Worship at his holy mountain. The LORD our God is holy.
