Psalms 99

1 YHWH reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

2 YHWH is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!

4 The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt ye YHWH our Elohim, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon YHWH, and he answered them.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

8 Thou answeredst them, O YHWH our Elohim: thou wast an El that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

9 Exalt YHWH our Elohim, and worship at his holy hill; for YHWH our Elohim is holy.

Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
