上帝是圣洁的君王

99 耶和华掌权,万民当战抖;
祂坐在基路伯天使之上,
大地当战抖。
耶和华在锡安伟大无比,
超越万邦。
万国要赞美你伟大而可畏的名,
你是圣洁的。
你是大能的君王,
喜爱正义,维护公平,
在雅各家秉公行义。
要尊崇我们的上帝耶和华,
俯伏在祂脚凳前敬拜,
祂是圣洁的。
祂的祭司中有摩西和亚伦,
呼求祂的人中有撒母耳。
他们求告耶和华,
祂就应允他们。
祂在云柱中向他们说话,
他们遵守祂赐下的法度和律例。
耶和华,我们的上帝啊,
你应允了他们,
向他们显明你是赦罪的上帝,
但也惩罚他们的罪恶。
要尊崇我们的上帝耶和华,
在祂的圣山上敬拜祂,
因为我们的上帝耶和华是圣洁的。

Psalm 99

The King Is Holy

The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble.
He is enthroned above the cherubim.(A)
Let the earth quake.(B)
Yahweh is great in Zion;
He is exalted above all the peoples.(C)
Let them praise Your great
and awe-inspiring name.(D)
He is holy.(E)

The mighty King loves justice.
You have established fairness;
You have administered justice
and righteousness in Jacob.(F)
Exalt the Lord our God;
bow in worship at His footstool.(G)
He is holy.(H)

Moses and Aaron were among His priests;(I)
Samuel also was among those calling on His name.
They called to Yahweh and He answered them.(J)
He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud;(K)
they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.
Lord our God, You answered them.
You were a forgiving God to them,(L)
an avenger of their sinful actions.(M)

Exalt the Lord our God;
bow in worship at His holy mountain,
for the Lord our God is holy.(N)

Yahweh Is a Holy King

99 Yahweh is king; let the peoples tremble.
He sits enthroned[a] between the cherubim. Let the earth shake.
Yahweh is great in Zion,
and he is exalted over all the peoples.
Let them praise your great and fearful name.
He is holy.
And the strength of the king loves justice.[b]
You have established equity;
you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt Yahweh our God,
and worship at his footstool.
He is holy.
Moses and Aaron were among his priests;
Samuel also was among those who called on his name.
They called to Yahweh, and he answered them.
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud.
They kept his testimonies and the statute he gave to them.
O Yahweh our God, you answered them.
You were a forgiving God to them,
but an avenger of their wrong deeds.
Exalt Yahweh our God,
and worship at his holy mountain,
for Yahweh our God is holy.
