Psalm 99
God, Righteous and Holy King
Yahweh is King, the nations tremble;
he is enthroned on the cherubs,
earth quakes; Yahweh is great in Zion.
He is high over all nations;
may they praise your great and
terrible name, 'Holy is He' and mighty!
You are a King who loves justice,
insisting on honesty, justice, virtue,
as you have done for Jacob.
Let us extol Yahweh our God,
and worship at His footstool,
'Holy is He' !
Moses, Aaron one of his priests,
and Samuel his votary, all invoked
Yahweh: and He answered them.
He talked with them in the pillar of cloud;
they obeyed his decrees, the Law he gave them.
Yahweh our God You responded to them,
a God of forgiveness for them,
in spite of punishing their sins.
Extol Yahweh our God,
worship at His holy mountain,
'Holy is Yahweh our God!'
