Salme 99

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

YHWH has reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubim, the earth shakes.

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

YHWH [is] great in Zion, And He [is] high over all the peoples.

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

They praise Your Name, “Great, and fearful, [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 Has loved judgment, You have established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, You have done.

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

Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves 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 those proclaiming His Name. They are calling to YHWH, And He answers them.

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

He speaks to them in a pillar of cloud, They have kept His testimonies, And He has given the statute to them.

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

O YHWH, our God, You have afflicted them, You have been a forgiving God to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

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

Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For our God YHWH [is] holy!
