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!
Jahwe ward König - erzittern müssen die Völker! der über den Keruben thront - es wanke die Erde!
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Jahwe ist groß in Zion und erhaben ist er über alle Völker.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Sie sollen deinen großen und furchtbaren Namen preisen: heilig ist er!
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
Du bist König und liebst Recht. Du hast aufgerichtet, was recht ist; Recht und Gerechtigkeit hast du an Jakob geübt.
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
Erhebt Jahwe, unsern Gott, und werft euch nieder vor dem Schemel seiner Füße: heilig ist er!
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.
Mose und Aaron waren unter seinen Priestern, und Samuel unter denen, die seinen Namen anriefen; sie riefen zu Jahwe und er erhörte sie.
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.
In der Wolkensäule redete er zu ihnen; sie hatten seine Zeugnisse bewahrt und die Mahnung, die er ihnen gegeben.
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.
Jahwe, unser Gott, du hast sie erhört. Du warst ihnen ein verzeihender Gott und ein Rächer ihrer schlimmen Thaten.
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!
Erhebt Jahwe, unsern Gott, und werft euch nieder vor seinem heiligen Berge. Denn heilig ist Jahwe, unser Gott!
