1Hashem, enthroned on cherubim, is king, peoples tremble,* the earth quakes.

2Hashem is great in Tzion, and exalted above all peoples.

6Moshe and Aharon among His Kohanim, Shmuel, among those who call on His name— when they called to Hashem, He answered them.

99:6   Moshe and Aharon among His Kohanim

The Children of Israel were guided by Moshe and Aharon in the desert, and, once they were settled in the Land of Israel, great leaders such as Shmuel. All of these prophets called out to Hashem, and He answered them and guided them. Though He took vengeance on His people for their sins, Hashem is nevertheless a forgiving God who governs His people in Eretz Yisrael with equity, justice and righteousness. This is reason to raise God up and bow down to Him at His holy mountain, for God is truly and completely holy (verse 9).

7He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they obeyed His decrees, the law He gave them.

זבְּעַמּ֣וּד עָ֭נָן יְדַבֵּ֣ר אֲלֵיהֶ֑ם שָׁמְר֥וּ עֵ֝דֹתָ֗יו וְחֹ֣ק נָֽתַן־לָֽמוֹ׃

8Hashem our God, You answered them; You were a forgiving Hashem for them, but You exacted retribution for their misdeeds.

9Exalt Hashem our God, and bow toward His holy hill, for Hashem our God is holy.
