Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigneth; let the peoples tremble: he sitteth upon the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

Adonai reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the peoples.

Adonai is great in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. He is high above all the peoples.

3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name: holy is he.

Let them yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your great and awesome name. He is Holy!

4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

The King’s strength also 'ahav ·affectionately loves· mishpat ·justice·. You do establish equity. You execute mishpat ·justice· and righteousness in Jacob [Supplanter].

5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool: holy is he.

Exalt Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship at his footstool. He is Holy!

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call on his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on Adonai, and he answered them.

7 He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

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

8 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

You answered them, Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

9 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

Exalt Adonai, our God. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship at his holy hill, for Adonai, our God, is holy!
