< Psalms 99 >
1 YHWH has reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubim, the earth shakes.
Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.
2 YHWH [is] great in Zion, And He [is] high over all the peoples.
Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.
3 They praise Your Name, “Great, and fearful, [it] is holy!”
They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is 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 strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His footstool, He [is] holy.
Exalt Jehovah 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 among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered 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 unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute 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.
Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.
9 Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For our God YHWH [is] holy!
Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.
