Psalms 99

1 Our Lord, you are King! You rule from your throne above the winged creatures, as people tremble and the earth shakes.

2 You are praised in Zion, and you control all nations.

3 Only you are God! And your power alone, so great and fearsome, is worthy of praise.

4 You are our mighty King, a lover of fairness, who sees that justice is done everywhere in Israel.

5 Our Lord and our God, we praise you and kneel down to worship you, the God of holiness!

6 Moses and Aaron were two of your priests. Samuel was also one of those who prayed in your name, and you, our Lord, answered their prayers.

7 You spoke to them from a thick cloud, and they obeyed your laws.

8 Our Lord and our God, you answered their prayers and forgave their sins, but when they did wrong, you punished them.

9 We praise you, Lord God, and we worship you at your sacred mountain. Only you are God!
