Psalm 99

The Lord is holy! [ a ]

99 The Lord rules as king!
People on earth should shake with fear!
The Lord sits on his throne as king
above the cherubs! [ b ]
The earth itself should shake!
2 The Lord is a great king in Zion.
He rules with power
over all the world's nations.
3 So they should all praise your great name.
It is a name that brings fear!
The Lord is holy!
4 You are a strong king who loves justice.
You have made fair rules,
so that people in Israel do what is right.
5 Praise the Lord our God!
Worship him as king.
He is holy!
6 Moses and Aaron were two of his priests. [ c ]
Samuel was among those who prayed to him.
They prayed to the Lord
and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud. [ d ]
They obeyed his rules and his commands.
8 Yes, you answered them, Lord our God.
You forgave the sins of your people.
But when they did wrong things,
you punished them. [ e ]
9 Praise the Lord our God!
Go and worship him on his holy hill,
because the Lord our God is holy!

Footnotes

  1. 99:1 This is the last of the six Royal Psalms. It tells us that God is a fair and honest king. He has shown his own people, the Israelites, who he is. One day, everyone will see that God is the great king!
  2. 99:1 This is a picture of God on his throne. In the Most Holy Place, in the tabernacle, and in the temple, there were gold statues of cherubs. Cherubs were special angels. God's throne is above these angels.
  3. 99:6 This is the only place in the Bible where it says that Moses was a priest. Priests were God's special servants. They all came from the family of Aaron, who was Moses' brother.
  4. 99:7 The pillar of cloud led the Israelites across the wilderness from Egypt to Canaan.
  5. 99:8 Even when God forgave his people, he still needed to punish them when they did wrong things.

99 The Lord is King,
so let the nations shake with fear.
He sits as King above the Cherub angels,
so let the whole earth shake.
2 The Lord in Zion is great!
He is the great leader over all people.
3 Let all the nations praise your name.
Your name is great and awesome.
Your name is holy.
4 You are the powerful King who loves justice.
You have made things right.
You have brought goodness and fairness to Jacob.
5 Praise the Lord our God,
and bow down before his footstool, [ a ] for he is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were some of his priests,
and Samuel was one of the men who called on his name.
They prayed to the Lord ,
and he answered them.
7 God spoke from the tall cloud,
and they obeyed his commands
and the law he gave them.
8 Lord our God, you answered their prayers.
You showed them that you are a forgiving God
and that you punish people for the evil they do.
9 Praise the Lord our God.
Bow down toward his holy mountain and worship him.
The Lord our God is holy!
