Psalm 99

The LORD Reigns!
(Psalm 93:1–5)

1The LORD {YHWH} reigns;

let the nations tremble!

He is enthroned above the cherubim;

let the earth quake!

2Great is the LORD {YHWH} in Zion;

He is exalted above all the peoples.

3Let them praise Your great and awesome name—

He is holy (it is holy!)!a

4The mighty King loves justice (The might of the King loves justice.).b

You have established equity;

You have exercised justice

and righteousness in Jacob (he grasps the heel).

5Exalt the LORD our God {YHWH Elohenu},

and worship at His footstool;

He is holy!

6Moses (drawn out) and Aaron (light bringer) were among His priests;

Samuel (his name is El) was among those who called on His name.

They called to the LORD {YHWH} and He answered.

7He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;

they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

8O LORD our God {YHWH Elohenu}, You answered them.

You were a forgiving God to them,

yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

9Exalt the LORD our God {YHWH Elohenu}

and worship at His holy mountain,

for the LORD our God is holy.
