Psalms 99

1 Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!

Psaume à David (de David) lui-même. Le Seigneur a établi son règne, que des peuples frémissent de colère; il est assis sur des chérubins, que la terre soit ébranlée.

2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.

Le Seigneur est grand dans Sion; il est élevé au-dessus de tous les peuples.

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

Qu’ils rendent gloire à votre grand nom, parce qu’il est terrible et saint,

4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.

Et que l’honneur d’un roi aime le jugement. Vous avez préparé des voies droites: jugement et justice dans Jacob, c’est vous qui les avez exercés.

5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!

Exaltez le Seigneur notre Dieu, et adorez l’escabeau de ses pieds, parce qu’il est saint.

6 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.

Moïse et Aaron parmi ses prêtres, et Samuel entre ceux qui invoquent son nom, Invoquaient le Seigneur, et le Seigneur les exauçait;

7 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.

C’est du milieu d’une colonne de nuée qu’il leur parlait. Ils gardaient ses témoignages et le précepte qu’il leur avait donné.

8 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.

Seigneur notre Dieu, vous les exauciez: ô Dieu, vous leur avez été propice, mais en vous vengeant de toutes leurs inventions.

9 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!

Exaltez le Seigneur notre Dieu, adorez-le sur sa montagne sainte; parce qu’il est sainte le Seigneur notre Dieu.
