Psalm 98
|
1
The Lord is king, the nations are adread; he is throned above the Cherubim, and earth trembles before him.
2
Great is the Lord who dwells in Sion, sovereign ruler of all peoples!
3
Let them all praise that great name of thine, a name terrible and holy.
4
He reigns in might, that right loves, to all assuring redress, giving the sons of Jacob doom and award.
5
Praise, then, the Lord our God, and bow down before his footstool; that, too, is holy.
6
Remember Moses and Aaron, and all those priests of his, Samuel and those others who called on his name, how the Lord listened when they called upon him.
7
His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; so it was they heard the decrees, the command he gave them.
8
And thou, O Lord our God, didst listen to them, and they found thee a God of pardon; yet every fault of theirs thou wert quick to punish.
9
Praise the Lord our God, and do worship on the holy mountain where he dwells; the Lord our God is holy.
