Psalms 99

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

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 over all the peoples.

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

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

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

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

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

5 Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His footstool, 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 those proclaiming His Name. They are calling to YHWH, And He answers 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 speaks to them in a pillar of cloud, They have kept His testimonies, And He has given the statute to them.

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

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

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

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

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