Psalm 99

Dirk van der Boom, 1972, & William Helder, 1980

1. God, the LORD, is King,
   Throned on cherubim.
   Let the peoples quake,
   Earth’s foundations shake,
   For in Zion He
   Shows His majesty
   And His exaltation
   Over ev’ry nation.
   
2. Let them spread the fame
   Of His awesome Name;
   Holy is the LORD
   And to be adored.
   Let them praise their King,
   Of His justice sing.
   Worship Him uprightly;
   He, the King, is mighty.
   
3. Thou in Jacob’s land
   Hast by Thy own hand
   Right and truth maintained,
   Equity ordained.
   At His footstool bow
   And revere Him now.
   Praise Him, high and lowly,
   For the LORD is holy.
   
4. Moses to Him prayed,
   Aaron sought His aid;
   Later Samuel
   Called on Him as well.
   They cried out to Him,
   And He answered them;
   He in tribulation
   Heard their supplication.
   
5. He to Israel spoke
   In a cloud of smoke;
   They His glory saw,
   Worshipped Him with awe.
   He, the LORD, their Guide,
   Statutes did provide
   Which His chosen nation
   Kept with dedication.
   
6. When they called on Thee,
   Thou didst hear their plea;
   Thou didst pardon them,
   Though avenging sin.
   Come to Zion’s hill
   And perform God’s will;
   Praise Him, high and lowly,
   For the LORD is holy.
