Psalms 99

1 Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!

耶和華作王；萬民當戰抖！ 他坐在二基路伯上，地當動搖。

2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.

耶和華在錫安為大； 他超乎萬民之上。

3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!

他們當稱讚他大而可畏的名； 他本為聖！

4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.

王有能力，喜愛公平，堅立公正， 在雅各中施行公平和公義。

5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!

你們當尊崇耶和華－我們的上帝， 在他腳凳前下拜。 他本為聖！

6 Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.

在他的祭司中有摩西和亞倫； 在求告他名的人中有撒母耳。 他們求告耶和華，他就應允他們。

7 He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to them.

他在雲柱中對他們說話； 他們遵守他的法度和他所賜給他們的律例。

8 Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.

耶和華－我們的上帝啊，你應允他們； 你是赦免他們的上帝， 卻按他們所行的報應他們。

9 Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!

你們要尊崇耶和華－我們的上帝， 在他的聖山下拜， 因為耶和華－我們的上帝本為聖！
