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!

L’Eterno regna; tremino i popoli; egli siede sui cherubini, la terra sia scossa.

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

L’Eterno è grande in Sion, ed eccelso sopra tutti i popoli.

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

Lodino essi il tuo nome grande e tremendo. Egli è santo.

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

Lodino la forza del Re che ama la giustizia; sei tu che hai fondato il diritto, che hai esercitato in Giacobbe il giudicio e la giustizia.

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

Esaltate l’Eterno, l’Iddio nostro, e prostratevi dinanzi allo sgabello de’ suoi piedi. Egli è santo.

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.

Mosè ed Aaronne fra i suoi sacerdoti, e Samuele fra quelli che invocavano il suo nome, invocaron l’Eterno, ed egli rispose loro.

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.

Parlò loro dalla colonna della nuvola; essi osservarono le sue testimonianze e gli statuti che diede loro.

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.

Tu li esaudisti, o Eterno, Iddio nostro! Fosti per loro un Dio perdonatore, benché tu punissi le loro male azioni.

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!

Esaltate l’Eterno, l’Iddio nostro, e adorate sul monte della sua santità; perché l’Eterno, l’Iddio nostro, è santo.
