Psalms 99

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

The Lord is king; let the nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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 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 cloud, they kept his commands and the statute 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.

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

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

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