Psalms 99

1 Jehovah reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim; the earth shakes.

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

2 Jehovah is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

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

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy.

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

4 The King's strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

And the strength of the king Has loved judgment, You have established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, You have done.

5 Exalt Jehovah our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy.

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

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on Jehovah, and he answered them.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His Name. They are calling to YHWH, And He answers them.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

He speaks to them in a pillar of cloud, They have kept His testimonies, And He has given the statute to them.

8 You answered them, Jehovah our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

O YHWH, our God, You have afflicted them, You have been a forgiving God to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

9 Exalt Jehovah, our God. Worship at his holy mountain, for Jehovah, our God, is holy.

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