Psalms 99

1 A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

L’Éternel règne: que les peuples tremblent! Il est assis entre les chérubins: que la terre s’émeuve!

2 The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.

L’Éternel est grand en Sion, et il est haut élevé par-dessus tous les peuples.

3 May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

Ils célébreront ton nom grand et terrible: – il est saint! –

4 And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.

Et la force du roi qui aime la justice. Toi, tu établis la droiture, tu exerces le jugement et la justice en Jacob.

5 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.

Exaltez l’Éternel, notre Dieu, et prosternez-vous devant le marchepied de ses pieds: – il est saint!

6 Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.

Moïse et Aaron, parmi ses sacrificateurs, et Samuel, parmi ceux qui invoquent son nom, crièrent à l’Éternel, et il leur a répondu.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that he gave them.

Il leur parla dans la colonne de nuée: ils ont gardé ses témoignages, et le statut qu’il leur avait donné.

8 You heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

Éternel, notre Dieu! tu leur as répondu, tu as été pour eux un Dieu qui pardonnait, et prenait vengeance de leurs actes.

9 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.

Exaltez l’Éternel, notre Dieu, et prosternez-vous en la montagne de sa sainteté; car l’Éternel, notre Dieu, est saint!
