Psalms 99

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

The LORD 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.

The LORD is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

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

Let them praise 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 loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt the LORD our God. 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 were among his priests, Samuel was among those who call on his name. They called on the LORD, 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, LORD 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 the LORD, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for the LORD, our God, is holy!
