Psalm 99

Tunes PCC uses:   St. MagnusOld 44th,
 Evan,  Old 22nd

 

1

Th’ eternal Lord doth reign as king,

 

 

let all the people quake;

 

He sits between the cherubims,

 

 

let th’ earth be mov’d and shake.

2

The Lord in Sion great and high

 

 

above all people is;

3

Thy great and dreadful name (for it

 

 

is holy) let them bless.

 

4

The king’s strength also judgment loves;

 

 

thou settlest equity:

 

Just judgment thou dost execute

 

 

in Jacob righteously.

5

The Lord our God exalt on high,

 

 

and rev’rently do ye

 

Before his footstool worship him:

 

 

the Holy One is he.

 

6

Moses and Aaron ’mong his priests,

 

 

Samuel, with them that call

 

Upon his name: these call’d on God,

 

 

and he them answer’d all.

7

Within the pillar of the cloud

 

 

he unto them did speak:

 

The testimonies he them taught,

 

 

and laws, they did not break.

 

8

Thou answer’dst them, O Lord our God;

 

 

thou wast a God that gave

 

Pardon to them, though on their deeds

 

 

thou wouldest vengeance have.

9

Do ye exalt the Lord our God,

 

 

and at his holy hill

 

Do ye him worship: for the Lord

 

 

our God is holy still.
