Salme 99

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

The Lord is king; let the nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

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

The Lord is great in Zion, he is high over all the nations.

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

Let them praise your great and terrible name. Holy is he.

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

You are a king who loves justice, equity you have established: justice and right you have wrought for Jacob.

Exalt the Lord our God, bow down at his footstool. Holy is he.

6 Mose og Aron iblandt hans Præster og Samuel iblandt dem, som paakaldte hans Navn, raabte til Herren, og han bønhørte dem.

Among his priests were Moses and Aaron, Samuel among those who called on his name. They called to the Lord, and he gave them answer.

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

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud, they kept his commands and the statute 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.

Lord our God, you gave them answer. A God of forgiveness were you to them, who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

Exalt the Lord our God; bow down at his holy mountain. For holy is the Lord our God.
