Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth [between] the cherubims; 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 the people.

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

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

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

4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou 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 ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; [for] 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 upon the LORD, 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 spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance [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 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of 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 worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God [is] holy.

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