Salme 99

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

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

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 praise your great and terrible name. Holy is he.

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

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

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

Exalt the Lord our God, bow down at his footstool. 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;

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 i Skystøtten taler han til dem, de holder hans Vidnesbyrd, Loven, 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 svarer dem. Du var dem en Gud, som tilgav og frikendte dem, for hvad de gjorde.

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

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

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