Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among 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. He is high above all the peoples.

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

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy!

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

4 The King’s strength also loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice 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 the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy!

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

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who 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 pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute 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, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

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. 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!
