Psalm 99

Yahweh is King.
Let this sink in
And rattle your world.
Angel wings shade his throne.
Yes!
The whole world is rattled
By his rule.
Yahweh is taken seriously in Zion.
Everyone else should do the same.
The King’s greatest strength
Is his love of justice —
You do things fairly,
Ensuring justice and rightness prevail
Among your people.

So, make Yahweh the center of your life.
Bow down at his feet.
He is holy.

Moses and Aaron were his priests.
Samuel prayed to him by name.
They prayed to Yahweh.
He answered.
From a cloud plume
He spoke to them.
And they in turn did everything he told them,
Keeping all his laws.
Yes, Yahweh our God,
You answered them,
You forgave them
(Though you let sin-consequences leave their scars).

So, make Yahweh our God the center of your life.
Bow down in holy Zion
For Yahweh our God is holy.
