Salme 99

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

A Psalm of David. The Lord reigns; —let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved.

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

The Lord is great in Sion, and is high over all the people.

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

Let them give thanks to your great name; for it is terrible and holy.

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

And the king's honor loves judgment; you have prepared equity, you have wrought judgment and justice 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 upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he heard them.

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

He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which 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.

O Lord our God, you heard them; O God, you became propitious to them, though you did take vengeance on all their devices.

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

Exalt you the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.
