Psalms 99

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

A psalm for David himself. The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved.

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

The Lord is great in Sion, and high above all people.

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

Let them give praise to thy 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 king’s honour loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.

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

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, 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 among his priests: and Samuel among them that call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard 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 commandment 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.

Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God: thou wast a merciful God to them, and 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 ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.
