Salme 99

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

A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

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

The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.

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

May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

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

And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.

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

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.

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 are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.

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

He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that 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 heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

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

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.
