Psalms 99

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

The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

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

The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

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

Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

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

The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

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

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

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 among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

7 He speaks to them in a pillar of cloud, They have kept His testimonies, And He has given the statute to them.

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which 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.

You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

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

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
