99 1 He commendeth the power, equity, and excellency of the kingdom of God by Christ over the Jews and Gentiles, 5 And provoketh them to magnify the same, and to serve the Lord, 6 following the example of the ancient fathers, Moses, Aaron, Samuel, who calling upon God, were heard in their prayers.

The Lord reigneth, let the [a]people tremble: he sitteth between the (A)Cherubims, let the earth be moved.

The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all the people.

They shall [b]praise thy great and fearful Name (for it is holy.)

And the King’s power, that loveth judgment: for thou hast prepared equity: thou hast executed judgment and justice in Jacob.

Exalt the Lord our God, and fall down before his [c]footstool: for he is holy.

Moses and Aaron were among his Priests, [d]and Samuel among such as call upon his Name: these called upon the Lord, and he heard them.

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the Law that he gave them.

Thou heardest them, O Lord our God: thou wast a favorable God unto them, though thou didst take vengeance for [e]their inventions.

Exalt the Lord our God and fall down before his holy Mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.
