Salme 99

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

Yhwh reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

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

Yhwh 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 thy 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 loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt ye Yhwh 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 upon his name; they called upon Yhwh, and he answered them.

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

He spake unto 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.

Thou answeredst them, O Yhwh our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

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

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