Psalms 99

1 The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

Yahvé règne! Que les peuples tremblent. Il est assis sur un trône parmi les chérubins. Que la terre s'émeuve.

2 The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

Yahvé est grand en Sion. Il est élevé au-dessus de tous les peuples.

3 Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

Qu'ils louent ton nom grand et redoutable. Il est saint!

4 The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

La force du roi aime aussi la justice. Vous établissez l'équité. Tu exécutes la justice et la droiture en Jacob.

5 Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

Exaltez Yahvé notre Dieu. Se prosterner devant son marchepied. Il est saint!

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

Moïse et Aaron étaient parmi ses prêtres, Samuel était parmi ceux qui invoquent son nom. Ils invoquèrent Yahvé, et il leur répondit.

7 His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

Il leur parla dans la colonne de nuée. Ils ont gardé ses témoignages, le statut qu'il leur a donné.

8 You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

Tu leur as répondu: Yahvé, notre Dieu. Tu es un Dieu qui leur a pardonné, bien que vous vous soyez vengé de leurs actes.

9 Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

Exaltez Yahvé, notre Dieu. Vénérer sur sa colline sacrée, car Yahvé, notre Dieu, est saint!
