Read Psalm 99

The Lord is king;

and the people tremble.

He is enthroned above the winged creatures

and the earth shakes.

²The Lord is mighty in Zion;

he is supreme over all the nations.

³Everyone will praise his great and majestic name.

Holy is he!

⁴Mighty king,^y you love what is right;

you have established justice in Israel;

you have brought righteousness and fairness.

⁵Praise the Lord our God;

worship before his throne!

Holy is he!

⁶Moses and Aaron were his priests,

and Samuel was one who prayed to him;

they called to the Lord, and he answered them.

⁷He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;

they obeyed the laws and commands that he gave them.

⁸O Lord, our God, you answered your people;

you showed them that you are a God who forgives,

even though you punished them for their sins.

⁹Praise the Lord our God,

and worship at his sacred hill!^z

The Lord our God is holy.

Psalm 99 invites us to remember God's power and majesty. It also reminds us of his justice and mercy:

'...you are a God who forgives.'

Lord help me to remember that you are God and I am not.
