Psalms 99

1 YHWH reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among 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. He is high above all the peoples.

The Lord is great in Zion, he is high over all the nations.

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

Let them praise your great and terrible name. Holy is he.

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

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

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

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

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on YHWH, and he answered 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 spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud, they kept his commands and the statute he gave them.

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

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

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

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