Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: he sits between 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 the people.

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; for it is holy.

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

4 The king’s strength also loves judgment; you do establish equity, you execute judgment and righteousness 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 you the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

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

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call on his name; they called on the LORD, and he answered 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 cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance 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 answered them, O LORD our God: you were a God that forgave them, though you took vengeance of 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 worship at his holy hill; 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!
