Psalm 99:2

Contemporary English Version 1995

You are praised in Zion, and you control all nations.

See the chapter Copy

The Lord rules the whole earth, and he is more glorious than all the false gods.

If a messenger comes from a distant nation, you must say: “The Lord built Zion. Even the poorest of his people will find safety there.”

Sing, people of Zion! Celebrate the greatness of the holy Lord of Israel. God is here to help you.

The Lord is far above all of the nations; he is more glorious than the heavens.

His mighty power rules forever, and nothing the nations do can be hidden from him. So don't turn against God.

God shines brightly from Zion, the most beautiful city.

Israel's king is the Lord God. He lives there with them and intends them no harm.

God has put every nation under our power,

God rules the nations from his sacred throne.
