Psalm 99

Abraham Coles

2 Jehovah is in Zion, great;
Above all people, high;
3 Let them extol Thy dreadful Name,
And give the reason why,
For it is holy.

4 Thy kingly strength doth judgment love;
Thou dost establish right;
Thou innocence dost vindicate,
And wickedness requite.

5 Exalt the Lord our God; approach
His awful Mercy Seat;
Prostrate yourselves before His throne,
And worship at His feet,
For He is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron were to God
As priests to intercede;
And Samuel called upon His name,
And did for Israel plead.

7 They called, He answered them; He in
The cloudy pillar spake;
They kept His statues which He gave
And warned them not to break.

8 Thou didst, Jehovah, answer them —
Wast a forgiving God;
But mad'st them feel for their misdeeds
The vengeance of Thy rod.

9 Exalt the Lord our God, bow down;
Ye people all draw near!
Assemble at His Holy Mount
And worship in His fear,
For He is holy!
