Psalm 99

1        Th' eternal Lord doth reign as king,

                   let all the people quake;

          He sits between the cherubims,

                   let th' earth be mov'd and shake.

2        The Lord in Sion great and high

                   above all people is;

3        Thy great and dreadful name (for it

                   is holy) let them bless.

4        The king's strength also judgment loves;

                   thou settlest equity:

          Just judgment thou dost execute

                   in Jacob righteously.

5        The Lord our God exalt on high,

                   and rev'rently do ye

          Before his footstool worship him:

                   the Holy One is he.

6        Moses and Aaron 'mong his priests,

                   Samuel, with them that call

          Upon his name: these call'd on God,

                   and he them answer'd all.

7        Within the pillar of the cloud

                   he unto them did speak:

          The testimonies he them taught,

                   and laws, they did not break.

8        Thou answer'dst them, O Lord our God;

                   thou wast a God that gave

          Pardon to them, though on their deeds

                   thou wouldest vengeance have.

9        Do ye exalt the Lord our God,

                   and at his holy hill

          Do ye him worship: for the Lord

                   our God is holy still.
