יהוה מָלָךְ יִרְגְּזוּ עַמִּים, ישֵׁב כְּרוּבִים תָּנוּט הָאָרֶץ׃ יהוה בְּצִיּוֹן גָּדוֹל, וְרָם הוּא עַל־כָּל־הָעַמִּים׃ יוֹדוּ שִׁמְךָ גָּדוֹל וְנוֹרָא, קָדוֹשׁ הוּא׃ |
YHVH reigns; let the peoples tremble; God is enthroned upon the keruvim; let the earth quake. YHVH is great in Tsiyon, high above all the peoples. Let them praise Your name as great and awful. God is Holy. |
וְעֹז מֶלֶךְ מִשְׁפָּט אָהֵב, אַתָּה כּוֹנַנְתָּ מֵישָׁרִים, מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה בְּיַעֲקֹב אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ׃ רוֹמְמוּ יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָיו, קָדוֹשׁ הוּא׃ |
The strength also of the king that loves justice, And has established equity. You have executed justice and righteousness in Yaaqov. Exalt YHVH our elo’ah, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool; God is Holy. |
משֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן בְּכֹהֲנָיו וּשְׁמוּאֵל בְּקֹרְאֵי שְׁמוֹ, קֹרְאִים אֶל־יהוה וְהוּא יַעֲנֵם׃ בְּעַמּוּד עָנָן יְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם, שָׁמְרוּ עֵדוֹתָיו וְחֹק נָתַן לָמוֹ׃ יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אַתָּה עֲנִיתָם, אֵל נֹשֵׂא הָיִיתָ לָהֶם, וְנֹקֵם עַל־עֲלִילוֹתָם׃ |
Mosheh and Aharon among God’s priests, Shmuel called God’s name, they called YHVH, and God answered them. God spoke to them in the pillar of cloud; they kept God’s testimonies, and the statute that God gave them. YHVH our elo’ah, You answered them: You were a forgiving El to them, You took vengeance for their misdeeds. |
רוֹמְמוּ יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְהַר קָדְשׁוֹ, כִּי קָדוֹשׁ יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ׃ |
Exalt YHVH our elo’ah and worship at God’s holy mountain; YHVH our elo’ah is holy. |
This translation of Psalms 99 can be found in HaAvodah SheBaLev – the Service of the Heart (Kehilat Kol HaNeshama, Jerusalem, 2007). “Adonai” is used as a circumlocution for the Tetragrammaton in the English translation. I have replaced ‘Adonai’ with ‘YHVH,’ God with ‘El,’ and ‘our God’ with ‘our elo’ah.’ –Aharon Varady.

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
