Salme 99

1 HERREN har vist, han er Konge, Folkene bæver, han troner paa Keruber, Jorden skælver!

The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

2 Stor er HERREN paa Zion, ophøjet over alle Folkeslag;

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

3 de priser dit Navn, det store og frygtelige; hellig er han!

Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

4 Du er en Konge, der elsker Retfærd, Retten har du grundfæstet, i Jakob øved du Ret og Retfærd.

The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

5 Ophøj HERREN vor Gud, bøj eder for hans Fødders Skammel; hellig er han!

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

6 Moses og Aron er blandt hans Præster og Samuel blandt dem, der paakalder hans Navn; de raaber til HERREN, han svarer;

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

7 i Skystøtten taler han til dem, de holder hans Vidnesbyrd, Loven, han gav dem;

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

8 HERRE vor Gud, du svarer dem. Du var dem en Gud, som tilgav og frikendte dem, for hvad de gjorde.

You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

9 Ophøj HERREN vor Gud, bøj eder for hans hellige Bjerg, thi hellig er HERREN vor Gud!

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
