Psalms 99:1-9
Psalms 99:1-9 The Message (MSG)
GOD rules. On your toes, everybody! He rules from his angel throne—take notice! GOD looms majestic in Zion, He towers in splendor over all the big names. Great and terrible your beauty: let everyone praise you! Holy. Yes, holy. Strong King, lover of justice, You laid things out fair and square; You set down the foundations in Jacob, Foundation stones of just and right ways. Honor GOD, our God; worship his rule! Holy. Yes, holy. Moses and Aaron were his priests, Samuel among those who prayed to him. They prayed to GOD and he answered them; He spoke from the pillar of cloud. And they did what he said; they kept the law he gave them. And then GOD, our God, answered them (But you were never soft on their sins). Lift high GOD, our God; worship at his holy mountain. Holy. Yes, holy is GOD our God.
Psalms 99:1-9 King James Version (KJV)
The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: He sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. The LORD is great in Zion; And he is high above all the people. Let them praise thy great and terrible name; For it is holy. The king's strength also loveth judgment; Thou dost establish equity, Thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt ye the LORD our God, And worship at his footstool; For he is holy. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; They called upon the LORD, and he answered them. He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: They kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: Thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; For the LORD our God is holy.
