Psalms 99

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

L'Éternel règne, les peuples tremblent; Il est assis sur les Chérubins, la terre est ébranlée.

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

L'Éternel est grand en Sion, et élevé au-dessus de tous les peuples:

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

qu'ils chantent Ton nom grand et redoutable, Il est saint!

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

et la force du Roi qui aime la justice! Tu as fondé l'équité, et créé en Jacob la justice et le droit.

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

Exaltez l'Éternel, notre Dieu, et vous prosternez sur le marchepied de son trône! Il est saint!

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

Moïse et Aaron, ses Lévites, et Samuel qui invoquait son nom, implorèrent l'Éternel, et Il les exauça.

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

Il leur parla dans la colonne de nuée; ils gardèrent ses commandements, et l'ordonnance qu'il leur avait donnée.

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

Éternel, notre Dieu, tu les as exaucés; tu fus pour eux un Dieu qui pardonne, et un Dieu vengeur, à cause de leurs méfaits.

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

Exaltez l'Éternel, notre Dieu, et prosternez-vous sur sa sainte montagne! Car Il est saint, l'Éternel, notre Dieu.
