Psalms 99

1 Yahweh, hath become king, Let the peoples, tremble, He is enthroned on the cherubim, Let the earth, shake.

A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

2 Yahweh, in Zion, is great, And, high, is he over all the peoples.

The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.

3 Let them thank his Name—great and reverend, Holy, is he!

May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

4 Yea, with the strength of a king—justice, he loveth, —Thou, hast established equity, Justice and righteousness in Jacob, thou, hast wrought.

And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.

5 Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down at his footstool, Holy, is he!

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron, [were] among his priests, And, Samuel, [was] among them who were calling upon his Name, Who were calling upon Yahweh, and, he, used to answer them:

Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.

7 In the pillar of cloud, used he to speak unto them, They kept his testimonies, and the statute he gave them.

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

8 O Yahweh our God! thou, answeredst them, —A pardoning GOD, thou becamest to them, Yet one bringing vengeance on their deeds.

You heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

9 Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down towards his holy mountain, For, holy, is Yahweh our God.

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.
