Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

L’Éternel règne: que les peuples tremblent! Il est assis entre les chérubins: que la terre s’émeuve!

2 Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

L’Éternel est grand en Sion, et il est haut élevé par-dessus tous les peuples.

3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!

Ils célébreront ton nom grand et terrible: – il est saint! –

4 The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

Et la force du roi qui aime la justice. Toi, tu établis la droiture, tu exerces le jugement et la justice en Jacob.

5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

Exaltez l’Éternel, notre Dieu, et prosternez-vous devant le marchepied de ses pieds: – il est saint!

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.

Moïse et Aaron, parmi ses sacrificateurs, et Samuel, parmi ceux qui invoquent son nom, crièrent à l’Éternel, et il leur a répondu.

7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

Il leur parla dans la colonne de nuée: ils ont gardé ses témoignages, et le statut qu’il leur avait donné.

8 O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

Éternel, notre Dieu! tu leur as répondu, tu as été pour eux un Dieu qui pardonnait, et prenait vengeance de leurs actes.

9 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.

Exaltez l’Éternel, notre Dieu, et prosternez-vous en la montagne de sa sainteté; car l’Éternel, notre Dieu, est saint!
