Salme 99

1 Herren regerer, Folkene bæve; han sidder over Keruber, Jorden ryster.

Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.

2 Herren er stor i Zion, og han er ophøjet over alle Folkene.

Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

3 De skulle prise dit Navn som stort og forfærdeligt — hellig er han! —

They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —

4 Og Kongens Vælde elsker Ret; du har befæstet Retvished, du har gjort Ret og Retfærdighed i Jakob.

And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Ophøjer Herren vor Gud og tilbeder for hans Fødders Fodskammel — hellig er han! —

Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

6 Mose og Aron iblandt hans Præster og Samuel iblandt dem, som paakaldte hans Navn, raabte til Herren, og han bønhørte dem.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 Han talte til dem i Skystøtten; de holdt hans Vidnesbyrd og den Skik, som han gav dem.

He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

8 Herre, vor Gud! du bønhørte dem, du var dem en Gud, som tilgav dem, men ogsaa en Hævner over deres Gerninger.

Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

9 Ophøjer Herren vor Gud og tilbeder for hans hellige Bjerg; thi hellig er Herren vor Gud.

Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.
