Psalm 99 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

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.
