Psalms 99 KJV

Summary: An enthronement psalm structured around a threefold refrain declaring God's holiness — "for he is holy" (v. 3, 5, 9) — opening "The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble" (v. 1) and picturing him enthroned "between the cherubims" (v. 1). It uniquely recalls three specific intercessors from Israel's history — "Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name" (v. 6) — who called on the LORD and were answered, including from "the cloudy pillar" (v. 7). It closes urging worship "at his holy hill," since the LORD their God is holy.

1The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

2The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

3Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

4The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

5Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

7He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

8Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

9Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
