Psalms 99

1 Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.

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

2 Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

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

3 They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —

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

4 And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment 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 Jehovah 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 among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered 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 unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute 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 Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

O YHWH, our God, You have afflicted them, You have been a forgiving God to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

9 Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.

Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For our God YHWH [is] holy!
