Psalms 99 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)(MP1650)

PSALM 99Common Meter: 8,6,8,6

1Th' eternal Lord doth reign as king,

let all the people quake;

He sits between the cherubims,

let th' earth be mov'd and shake.

2The Lord in Sion great and high

above all people is;

3Thy great and dreadful name (for it

is holy) let them bless.

4The king's strength also judgment loves;

thou settlest equity:

Just judgment thou dost execute

in Jacob righteously.

5The Lord our God exalt on high,

and rev'rently do ye

Before his footstool worship him:

the Holy One is he.

6Moses and Aaron 'mong his priests,

Samuel, with them that call

Upon his name: these call'd on God,

and he them answer'd all.

7Within the pillar of the cloud

he unto them did speak:

The testimonies he them taught,

and laws, they did not break.

8Thou answer'dst them, O Lord our God;

thou wast a God that gave

Pardon to them, though on their deeds

thou wouldest vengeance have.

9Do ye exalt the Lord our God,

and at his holy hill

Do ye him worship: for the Lord

our God is holy still.
