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!
L'Éternel règne, les peuples tremblent; Il est assis sur les Chérubins, la terre est ébranlée.
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
L'Éternel est grand en Sion, et élevé au-dessus de tous les peuples:
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
qu'ils chantent Ton nom grand et redoutable, 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.
et la force du Roi qui aime la justice! Tu as fondé l'équité, et créé en Jacob la justice et le droit.
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 l'Éternel, notre Dieu, et vous prosternez sur le marchepied de son trône! 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, ses Lévites, et Samuel qui invoquait son nom, implorèrent l'Éternel, et Il les exauça.
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 parla dans la colonne de nuée; ils gardèrent ses commandements, et l'ordonnance qu'il leur avait donnée.
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.
Éternel, notre Dieu, tu les as exaucés; tu fus pour eux un Dieu qui pardonne, et un Dieu vengeur, à cause de leurs méfaits.
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 l'Éternel, notre Dieu, et prosternez-vous sur sa sainte montagne! Car Il est saint, l'Éternel, notre Dieu.
