Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he setteth between the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

Adonai reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all people.

Adonai is great in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. He is high above all the peoples.

3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

Let them yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your great and awesome name. He is Holy!

4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

The King’s strength also 'ahav ·affectionately loves· mishpat ·justice·. You do establish equity. You execute mishpat ·justice· and righteousness in Jacob [Supplanter].

5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

Exalt Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship at his footstool. He is Holy!

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on Adonai, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

8 Thou didst answer them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance on their evil deeds.

You answered them, Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

Exalt Adonai, our God. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship at his holy hill, for Adonai, our God, is holy!
