Psalms 99

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

L'Éternel règne, les peuples tremblent; Il est assis sur les Chérubins, la terre est ébranlée.

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

L'Éternel est grand en Sion, et élevé au-dessus de tous les peuples:

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

qu'ils chantent Ton nom grand et redoutable, 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! Tu as fondé l'équité, et créé en Jacob la justice et le droit.

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

Exaltez l'Éternel, notre Dieu, et vous prosternez sur le marchepied de son trône! 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, ses Lévites, et Samuel qui invoquait son nom, implorèrent l'Éternel, et Il les exauça.

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 gardèrent ses commandements, et l'ordonnance qu'il leur avait donnée.

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 les as exaucés; tu fus pour eux un Dieu qui pardonne, et un Dieu vengeur, à cause de leurs méfaits.

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 sur sa sainte montagne! Car Il est saint, l'Éternel, notre Dieu.
