Psalms

Psalm 99:1–4

¹The LORD reigns;

let the nations tremble!

He is enthroned above the cherubim;

let the earth quake!

²Great is the LORD in Zion;

He is exalted above all the peoples.

³Let them praise Your great and awesome name —

He is holy!^a

⁴The mighty King loves justice.^b

You have established equity;

You have exercised justice

and righteousness in Jacob.
