Salme 99

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

The Lord reigneth; people tremble: he sitteth enthroned over the cherubim; the earth is moved.

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

The Lord is great in Zion; and he is exalted above all the people.

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

They will give thanks to thy name, great, and terrible, [and] holy it is.

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

And to the power of the king who loveth justice and righteousness hast thou truly executed in Jacob.

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

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before 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 were among his priests, and Samuel among those 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.

In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto 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, thou didst answer them: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

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

Exalt the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.
