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! 2 Yahweh is a mighty king in Jerusalem; but he is also the supreme ruler of all people-groups. 3 So they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy! 4 He is a mighty king who ◄loves/is pleased with► what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel. 5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy! 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. 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. 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. 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!
