Psalm 99

²²And I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony; I will speak with you about all that I command you regarding the Israelites.

¹The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

¹The Lord reigns! He is robed in majesty; the Lord has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

⁴His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

¹For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm of Asaph. Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth

¹¹Then I saw a great white throne and the One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them.

⁹For You, O Lord, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

³²What answer will be given to the envoys of that nation? “The Lord has founded Zion, where His afflicted people will find refuge.”

²From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

⁷He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

⁶Cry out and sing, O citizen of Zion, for great among you is the Holy One of Israel.”

⁴The Lord is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens.

³And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.”

⁵⁸If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name—the Lord your God—

³and they sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and wonderful are Your works, O Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!

⁴Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

⁹He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.

¹¹I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

³Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.

⁵Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and He will reign wisely as King and will administer justice and righteousness in the land.

⁷For the Lord is righteous; He loves justice. The upright will see His face.

⁵Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

⁶He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.

⁶Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

⁷You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.

³For I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Ascribe greatness to our God!

⁴He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.

³And He will delight in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what His eyes see, and He will not decide by what His ears hear,

⁴but with righteousness He will judge the poor, and with equity He will decide for the lowly of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth and slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.

⁷Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

¹This is what the Lord says: “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me? Or where will My place of repose be?

⁵Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

³Magnify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together.

²The Lord is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

⁴and on that day you will say: “Give praise to the Lord; proclaim His name! Make His works known among the peoples; declare that His name is exalted.

¹Then the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go!

⁶Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he splattered on the altar.

⁷Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”

²⁵And Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log. And when he cast it into the waters, they were sweetened. There the Lord made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them,

¹⁵Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.

⁹Then Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. He cried out to the Lord on behalf of Israel, and the Lord answered him.

¹⁰As the Philistines drew near to fight against Israel, Samuel was offering up the burnt offering. But that day the Lord thundered loudly against the Philistines and threw them into such confusion that they fled before Israel.

¹⁸So Samuel called to the Lord, and on that day the Lord sent thunder and rain. As a result, all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.

¹⁹They pleaded with Samuel, “Pray to the Lord your God for your servants so that we will not die! For we have added to all our sins the evil of asking for a king.”

⁹As Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and remain at the entrance, and the Lord would speak with Moses.

⁵and the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had stepped forward,

⁵See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the Lord my God has commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land that you are about to enter and possess.

²¹Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,

²²and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.

⁹The Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the Lord what the people had said.

²He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

¹²But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”

³³But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness.

²⁸And you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid, declares the Lord, for I am with you. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have banished you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”

²⁹Only this have I found: I have discovered that God made mankind upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”

¹⁹For I was afraid of the anger and wrath that the Lord had directed against you, enough to destroy you. But the Lord listened to me this time as well.

²⁰The Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I also prayed for Aaron.

²⁴“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.

⁴⁹For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.

⁸And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

¹⁶But the Lord of Hosts will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.

¹⁵For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.

¹⁵But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,

¹⁶for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

⁶“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
