Psalms 99

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

Adonai reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

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

Adonai is great in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. He is high above all the peoples.

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

Let them yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to 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 King’s strength also 'ahav ·affectionately loves· mishpat ·justice·. You do establish equity. You execute mishpat ·justice· and righteousness in Jacob [Supplanter].

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

Exalt Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to 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 [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on Adonai, 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 to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, 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.

You answered them, Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

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

Exalt Adonai, our God. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship at his holy hill, for Adonai, our God, is holy!
