Psalm 99:1-5 and 5:11-12 (ESV), arranged antiphonally
The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble!
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
The Lord is great in Zion;
he is exalted over all the peoples.
Let them praise your great and awesome name!
Holy is he!
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may exult in you.
The King in his might loves justice.
You have established equity;
you have executed justice
and righteousness in Jacob.
For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover him with favor as with a shield.
Exalt the Lord our God;
worship at his footstool!
Holy is he!
Sovereign and great Lord, enthroned upon the cherubim,
We praise Your holy name. Your name is great and awesome. Your name is exalted over all the peoples. Your name is exalted over the courtroom proceedings of the trial between the Episcopal Church in South Carolina and the Diocese of South Carolina.
Spread Your protection over those that love Your name. Bless the righteous. Cover them with favor as with a shield.
Holy is the Lord! Holy, holy, holy is His name! Amen.
