Psalms 99

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

יְהוָ֣ה מָ֭לָךְ יִרְגְּז֣וּ עַמִּ֑ים יֹשֵׁ֥ב כְּ֝רוּבִ֗ים תָּנ֥וּט הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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

יְ֭הוָה בְּצִיֹּ֣ון גָּדֹ֑ול וְרָ֥ם ה֝֗וּא עַל־כָּל־הָֽעַמִּֽים׃

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

יֹוד֣וּ שִׁ֭מְךָ גָּדֹ֥ול וְנֹורָ֗א קָדֹ֥ושׁ הֽוּא׃

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

וְעֹ֥ז מֶלֶךְ֮ מִשְׁפָּ֪ט אָ֫הֵ֥ב אַ֭תָּה כֹּונַ֣נְתָּ מֵישָׁרִ֑ים מִשְׁפָּ֥ט וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה בְּיַעֲקֹ֤ב ׀ אַתָּ֬ה עָשִֽׂיתָ׃

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

רֹֽומְמ֡וּ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְֽ֭הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַהֲדֹ֥ם רַגְלָ֗יו קָדֹ֥ושׁ הֽוּא׃

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.

מֹ֘שֶׁ֤ה וְאַהֲרֹ֨ן ׀ בְּֽכֹהֲנָ֗יו וּ֭שְׁמוּאֵל בְּקֹרְאֵ֣י שְׁמֹ֑ו קֹרִ֥אים אֶל־יְ֝הוָ֗ה וְה֣וּא יַעֲנֵֽם׃

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

בְּעַמּ֣וּד עָ֭נָן יְדַבֵּ֣ר אֲלֵיהֶ֑ם שָׁמְר֥וּ עֵ֝דֹתָ֗יו וְחֹ֣ק נָֽתַן־לָֽמֹו׃

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

יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵינוּ֮ אַתָּ֪ה עֲנִ֫יתָ֥ם אֵ֣ל נֹ֭שֵׂא הָיִ֣יתָ לָהֶ֑ם וְ֝נֹקֵ֗ם עַל־עֲלִילֹותָֽם׃

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

רֹֽומְמ֡וּ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְ֭הִֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְהַ֣ר קָדְשֹׁ֑ו כִּֽי־קָ֝דֹ֗ושׁ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
