詩篇 99

1 上主為王，萬民戰慄驚恐，祂坐於革魯賓之上，大地震動；

Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!

2 熙雍的上主，偉大當皇，崇高尊貴，而超越萬邦。

Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.

3 願他們讚美您的大名，它可敬可畏，至尊神聖。

[So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!

4 您是愛正義的大能君王，是您制定了法律的正綱，對雅各伯彿的合理合章。

He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.

5 請您們尊崇上主，我們的天主，還要向著祂的腳凳伏地叩首。因為祂的腳凳也是神聖無偶。

Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!

6 梅瑟和亞郎列於上主的司祭中，撒慕爾屬於呼號上主聖名的人中，他們呼號上主，上主即俯聽他們。

Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.

7 祂從前曾在雲柱中訓示了他們，他們就守了祂吩咐的誡命章程。

He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to them.

8 上主，您原是我們的天主，您曾俯聽他們；天主，您寬赦宥他們，但也報復他們的惡行。

Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.

9 請您們尊崇上主，我們的天主，還要向著祂的聖山伏地叩首，因我們的天主，上主神聖無偶。

Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
