Psalms 99

1 A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

YHWH has reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubim, the earth shakes.

2 The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.

YHWH [is] great in Zion, And He [is] high over all the peoples.

3 May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

They praise Your Name, “Great, and fearful, [it] is holy!”

4 And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice 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 adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.

Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His footstool, He [is] holy.

6 Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.

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 in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that 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 You heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

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 adore on 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!
