Psalms 99

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

The Lord is king; let the nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

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 praise your great and terrible name. 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.

You are a king who loves justice, equity you have established: justice and right you have wrought for Jacob.

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

Exalt the Lord our God, bow down at his footstool. 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.

Among his priests were Moses and Aaron, Samuel among those who called on his name. They called to the Lord, and he gave them answer.

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 commands and the statute 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.

Lord our God, you gave them answer. A God of forgiveness were you to them, who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

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

Exalt the Lord our God; bow down at his holy mountain. For holy is the Lord our God.
