Psalms 99

1 Yahweh reigns; let the nations tremble. He sits enthroned above the cherubim; the earth quakes.

YHWH has reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubim, the earth shakes.

2 Yahweh is great in Zion; he is exalted above all the nations.

YHWH [is] great in Zion, And He [is] high over all the peoples.

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name; he is holy.

They praise Your Name, “Great, and fearful, [it] is holy!”

4 The king is strong, and he loves justice. You have established fairness; you have done righteousness and justice in Jacob.

And the strength of the king Has loved judgment, You have established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, You have done.

5 Praise Yahweh our God and worship at his footstool. He is holy.

Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His footstool, He [is] holy.

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel was among those who called on his name. They called to Yahweh, and he answered them.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His Name. They are calling to YHWH, And He answers them.

7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud. They kept his solemn commands and the statutes that he gave them.

He speaks to them in a pillar of cloud, They have kept His testimonies, And He has given the statute to them.

8 You answered them, Yahweh our God. A forgiving God you were to them, but one who punished their sinful deeds.

O YHWH, our God, You have afflicted them, You have been a forgiving God to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

9 Praise Yahweh our God, and worship at his holy hill, for Yahweh our God is holy.

Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For our God YHWH [is] holy!
