< 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!
Jehovah reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim; the earth shakes.
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Jehovah is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy.
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
The King's strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
Exalt Jehovah our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy.
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.
Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on Jehovah, and he answered them.
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.
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.
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.
You answered them, Jehovah our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.
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!
Exalt Jehovah, our God. Worship at his holy mountain, for Jehovah, our God, is holy.
