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!
Psaume de David. Le Seigneur a régné, que les peuples exhalent leur colère; il est assis sur les chérubins, que la terre tremble!
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Le Seigneur est grand dans Sion; il est élevé au-dessus de tous les peuples.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Exaltez le Seigneur notre Dieu, et adorez l'escabeau de ses pieds; car il est saint.
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
L'honneur du roi aime la justice: tu as établi l'équité; tu as rendu la justice et le jugement en 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!
Exaltez le Seigneur notre Dieu, et adorez l'escabeau de ses pieds; car il est saint.
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.
Moïse et Aaron ont été comptés parmi ses prêtres, et Samuel parmi ceux qui invoquent son nom. Ils invoquaient le Seigneur, et lui les exauçait.
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.
Il leur parlait du milieu d'une colonne de nuée. Ils gardaient ses témoignages et les commandements qu'il donnait.
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.
Seigneur notre Dieu, tu les as écoutés; ô Dieu, tu leur as été propice, même en toi vengeant de tous leurs desseins.
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!
Exaltez le Seigneur notre Dieu, et adorez-le sur sa montagne sainte; car le Seigneur notre Dieu est saint.
