Psalms 99

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

Psaume de David. Le Seigneur a régné, que les peuples exhalent leur colère; il est assis sur les chérubins, que la terre tremble!

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

Le Seigneur est grand dans Sion; il est élevé au-dessus de tous les peuples.

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

Exaltez le Seigneur notre Dieu, et adorez l'escabeau de ses pieds; car il est saint.

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.

L'honneur du roi aime la justice: tu as établi l'équité; tu as rendu la justice et le jugement en Jacob.

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

Exaltez le Seigneur notre Dieu, et adorez l'escabeau de ses pieds; car il est saint.

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.

Moïse et Aaron ont été comptés parmi ses prêtres, et Samuel parmi ceux qui invoquent son nom. Ils invoquaient le Seigneur, et lui les exauçait.

7 He spoke to the people from the pillar of cloud, and they kept the laws and decrees he gave them.

Il leur parlait du milieu d'une colonne de nuée. Ils gardaient ses témoignages et les commandements qu'il donnait.

8 Lord our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, but you punished them when they did wrong.

Seigneur notre Dieu, tu les as écoutés; ô Dieu, tu leur as été propice, même en toi vengeant de tous leurs desseins.

9 Honor the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy!

Exaltez le Seigneur notre Dieu, et adorez-le sur sa montagne sainte; car le Seigneur notre Dieu est saint.
