Psalms 99

1 The Lord reigns; let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne above the cherubim; let the earth shake!

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

2 The Lord rules supreme in Zion, he is sovereign over all the nations.

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

3 Let them praise his greatness, and respect him for who he is—for he is holy,

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

4 having kingly power. You love justice; you make impartial decisions. You have made sure everything is done in fairness and according to what's right.

And the strength of the king Has loved judgment, You have established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, You have done.

5 Give respect to the Lord our God! Bow down at his feet, for he is holy!

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

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel also prayed to him. They called out to the Lord for help, 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 to the people from the pillar of cloud, and they kept the laws and decrees 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 Lord our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, but you punished them when they did wrong.

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

9 Honor the Lord our God, and worship at 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!
