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!
Der HERR ist König, darum zittern die Völker; er sitzt auf den Cherubim, darum bebt die Welt.
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Der HERR ist groß zu Zion und hoch über alle Völker.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Man danke deinem großen und wunderbaren Namen, der da heilig ist.
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
Im Reich dieses Königs hat man das Recht lieb. Du gibst Frömmigkeit, du schaffest Gericht und Gerechtigkeit in Jakob.
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
Erhebet den HERRN, unsern Gott, betet an zu seinem Fußschemel; denn er ist heilig.
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 unter seinen Priestern und Samuel unter denen, die seinen Namen anrufen, sie riefen an den HERRN, 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.
Er redete mit ihnen durch eine Wolkensäule; sie hielten seine Zeugnisse und Gebote, die er ihnen gab.
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.
Herr, du bist unser Gott, du erhörtest sie; du, Gott, vergabst ihnen und straftest ihr Tun.
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!
Erhöhet den HERRN, unsern Gott, und betet an zu seinem heiligen Berge; denn der HERR, unser Gott, ist heilig.
