Salme 99

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

Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble: He sitteth [above] the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

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

Jehovah 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 justice; Thou dost establish equity; Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his footstool: Holy is he.

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

Moses and Aaron among his priests, And Samuel among them that call upon his name; They called upon Jehovah, 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 Jehovah 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 Jehovah our God, And worship at his holy hill; For Jehovah our God is holy.
