Psalms 99

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

A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: 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, and he is high above all peoples.

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

May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

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

And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.

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

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it 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 are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.

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 in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that 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 heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

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

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.
