Psalm 99 -- 21st Century Translation by Miriyam Glazer, Ph.D. (2009)

from PSALMS OF JEWISH LITURGY (Avi Press):
Adonai reigns!
Before God's throne, nations tremble --
the land quakes!
Adonai is great in Zion --
celebrated by the nations of the world:
All praise Your wondrous Name!
God is Holy!

With the strength of a Sovereign who loves justice,
You established order
and brought true judgments to Jacob.
Praise Adonai our God, bow before God's footstool:
God is Holy!

Moshe, the priest Aharon, and Sh'muel, among the God-seekers
called to Adonai
and Adonai answered them.
In a pillar of cloud, God spoke to them --
they honored God's Torah, they kept God's laws.
You answered them, Adonai, our God.
You were a forgiving God though You punished wrongdoing.

O praise Adonai our god, bow before God's holy mountain,
For Adonai our God is holy!
