Psalms 99

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

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, he is high over all the nations.

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

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

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

4 You are a king who loves justice, equity you have established: justice and right you have wrought for 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, bow down at his footstool. Holy is he.

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

6 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.

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 cloud, they kept his commands and the statute 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 Lord our God, you gave them answer. A God of forgiveness were you to them, who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

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

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