‏ Psalms 99

The King Is Holy

1 The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble.
He is enthroned above the
cherubim: A class of winged angels, associated with the throne of God, who function as guardians and who prevented Adam and Eve from returning to the garden of Eden
cherubim. b
Let the earth quake. c
2
Yahweh/Yah: Or The Lord; the personal name of God in Hebrew; "Yah" is the shortened form of the name.
Yahweh is great in
Zion: Originally a term for the fortified section of Jerusalem and then, by extension, used for the temple and the city of Jerusalem both in the present time and in the future
Zion;
He is exalted above all the peoples. f
3 Let them praise Your great
and awe-inspiring name. g
He is holy. h

4 The mighty King loves justice.
You have established fairness;
You have administered justice
and righteousness in Jacob. i
5 Exalt the Lord our God;
bow in worship at His footstool. j
He is holy. k

6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests; l
Samuel also was among those calling on His name.
They called to Yahweh and He answered them. m
7 He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; n
they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.
8 Lord our God, You answered them.
You were a forgiving God to them, o
an avenger of their sinful actions. p

9 Exalt the Lord our God;
bow in worship at His holy mountain,
for the Lord our God is holy. q
