Psalms, 99

1. Yahweh is king, the peoples tremble; he is enthroned on the winged creatures, the earth shivers;

1. The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!

2. Yahweh is great in Zion. He is supreme over all nations;

2. The LORD is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples.

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

3. Let them praise thy great and terrible name! Holy is he!

4. and mighty! You are a king who loves justice, you established honesty, justice and uprightness; in Jacob it is you who are active.

4. Mighty King, lover of justice, thou hast established equity; thou hast executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5. Exalt Yahweh our God, bow down at his footstool; holy is he!

5. Extol the LORD our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he!

6. Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel, calling on his name; they called on Yahweh and he answered them.

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

7. He spoke with them in the pillar of fire, they obeyed his decrees, the Law he gave them.

7. He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the statutes that he gave them.

8. Yahweh our God, you answered them, you were a God of forgiveness to them, but punished them for their sins.

8. O LORD our God, thou didst answer them; thou wast a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings.

9. Exalt Yahweh our God, bow down at his holy mountain; holy is Yahweh our God!

9. Extol the LORD our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the LORD our God is holy!
