Salme 99

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

The LORD reigneth; let the peoples tremble: he sitteth 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 the peoples.

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

Let them praise thy 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.

The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship 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;

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call on his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

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

He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute 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.

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

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

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
