Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned amongst the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

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

2 The LORD is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

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’s strength also loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

5 Exalt the LORD our God. 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 amongst his priests, Samuel was amongst those who call on his name. They called on the LORD, 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 in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute 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, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

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

9 Exalt the LORD, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for the LORD, our God, is holy!

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