اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 99

١ 1 اَلرَّبُّ قَدْ مَلَكَ. تَرْتَعِدُ ٱلشُّعُوبُ. هُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ. تَتَزَلْزَلُ ٱلْأَرْضُ.

[So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!

٤ 4 وَعِزُّ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَنْ يُحِبَّ ٱلْحَقَّ. أَنْتَ ثَبَّتَّ ٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةَ. أَنْتَ أَجْرَيْتَ حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا فِي يَعْقُوبَ.

٦ 6 مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ بَيْنَ كَهَنَتِهِ، وَصَمُوئِيلُ بَيْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ بِٱسْمِهِ. دَعَوْا ٱلرَّبَّ وَهُوَ ٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ.

Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.

٧ 7 بِعَمُودِ ٱلسَّحَابِ كَلَّمَهُمْ. حَفِظُوا شَهَادَاتِهِ وَٱلْفَرِيضَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمْ.

He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to them.

٨ 8 أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، أَنْتَ ٱسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُمْ. إِلَهًا غَفُورًا كُنْتَ لَهُمْ، وَمُنْتَقِمًا عَلَى أَفْعَالِهِمْ.

Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.

٩ 9 عَلُّوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا، وَٱسْجُدُوا فِي جَبَلِ قُدْسِهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا قُدُّوسٌ.

Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
