Salme 99

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

Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

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

Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.

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

They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

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

And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou — Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou — Thou hast done.

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

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves 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 those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

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

In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

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

O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

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

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!
