Psalms 99

1 Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

The Lord is king; let the nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

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

The Lord is great in Zion, he is high over all the nations.

3 They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

Let them praise your great and terrible name. Holy is he.

4 And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou — Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou — Thou hast done.

You are a king who loves justice, equity you have established: justice and right you have wrought for Jacob.

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

Exalt the Lord our God, bow down at his footstool. Holy is he.

6 Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

Among his priests were Moses and Aaron, Samuel among those who called on his name. They called to the Lord, and he gave them answer.

7 In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud, they kept his commands and the statute he gave them.

8 O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

Lord our God, you gave them answer. A God of forgiveness were you to them, who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

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

Exalt the Lord our God; bow down at his holy mountain. For holy is the Lord our God.
