< Psalms 99 >
1 The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!
YHWH has reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubim, the earth shakes.
2 Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.
YHWH [is] great in Zion, And He [is] high over all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!
They praise Your Name, “Great, and fearful, [it] is holy!”
4 The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.
And the strength of the king Has loved judgment, You have established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, You have done.
5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!
Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His footstool, He [is] holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.
Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His Name. They are calling to YHWH, And He answers them.
7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.
He speaks to them in a pillar of cloud, They have kept His testimonies, And He has given the statute to them.
8 O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.
O YHWH, our God, You have afflicted them, You have been a forgiving God to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.
9 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For our God YHWH [is] holy!
