Psalm 99
The following metrical paraphrase of Psalm 99 by David Schütz could be used on this day. It is sung to the tune of the song ‘God is so good’, ATN 54. If reproducing this version, please put ‘Words (c) David Schütz’ at the beginning or the end of the psalm.
The Lord is King! Fear and tremble!
He is enthroned in his temple!
Let the earth shake in the fear of God.
The Lord is great in his city!
He is above all the nations!
Let them all praise his great awesome name.
Holy is he – loving justice!
Our mighty King – giving fairness!
He acts with justice and righteousness.
All praise the Lord! Alleluia!
Worship his name! He is holy!
Come, bow before the Lord God, our King!
His priests are Aaron and Moses,
Samuel himself called on his name.
They cried to God, and he answered them.
They heard his voice speaking to them;
they kept the laws that he gave them;
he spoke to them from the fire and cloud.
O Lord our God, when you answered
you were forgiving toward them,
but you avenged all the wrong they did.
Extol the Lord – he is our God;
bow down on his holy mountain;
for the Lord God is the Holy One.
