Psalms 99

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 from the pillar of cloud. They kept his solemn commands and the statutes that 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.

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

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

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