Psalm 99

Psalm

A psalm.

99 Sing to Yahweh a new song

because he has done wonderful things!

By being powerfully holy he has saved his people.

2 Yahweh has shown openly that he saves his people;

he has revealed to people all over the world that he always does what is right.

3 He is always loyal to his covenant to be faithful to the Israelite people.

Even the people who live in the most remote places of the earth

will see that our God saves his people.

4 All you people everywhere should shout joyfully to Yahweh;

praise him while you sing joyfully and make music!

5 Play to Yahweh on a harp,

and sing along as you play.

6 Some of you should blow trumpets and ram's horns

while others shout joyfully to Yahweh, our king!

7 The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should roar to praise Yahweh.

The earth itself and everyone on it should do the same!

8 It should seem as though the rivers were clapping their hands to praise Yahweh

and that the hills were singing together joyfully

9 before Yahweh because he will come to judge everyone on the earth!

He will judge all the people in the world justly and fairly.

Psalm

99 Yahweh is the supreme king,

so all people should tremble in front of him!

He sits on his throne in the temple above the statues of the cherubim,

so the earth should quake!

2 Yahweh is a mighty king in Jerusalem;

he is also the supreme ruler of all peoples.

3 They should praise you, Yahweh, because you are great and awesome!

They should say, “He is holy!”

4 Yahweh is a mighty king because he loves what is just.

You, Yahweh, have established what is fair.

You have acted justly and righteously for the people of Israel.

5 Praise Yahweh, the God whom we worship!

Bow down to him at the temple, which is his footstool.

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 helped them.

7 He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud that was like a huge pillar.

They obeyed all the laws and commandments that he gave to them.

8 Yahweh, our God, you helped Moses, Aaron, and Samuel

when they cried out to you to help them;

you are the God who forgave them for the sins that they had committed,

even though you punished them for the things that they did that were wrong.

9 Praise Yahweh, our God,

and worship him at the temple on his holy hill;

it is right to do that because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
