Salme 99

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

The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: he sits between the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

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

The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

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

Let them praise your great and terrible name; for it is holy.

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

The king’s strength also loves judgment; you do establish equity, you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt you the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for 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 on his name; they called on the LORD, and he answered them.

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

He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance 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.

You answered them, O LORD our God: you were a God that forgave them, though you took vengeance of their inventions.

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

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
