< Salme 99 >
1 HERREN har vist, han er Konge, Folkene bæver, han troner på Keruber, Jorden skælver!
A psalm for David himself. The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved.
2 Stor er HERREN på Zion, ophøjet over alle Folkeslag;
The Lord is great in Sion, and high above all people.
3 de priser dit Navn, det store og frygtelige; hellig er han!
Let them give praise to thy 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 king’s honour loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.
5 Ophøj HERREN vor Gud, bøj eder for hans Fødders Skammel; hellig er han!
Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, for it is holy.
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 the Lord, and he heard 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 commandment which 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 didst hear them, O Lord our God: thou wast a merciful God to them, and taking vengeance on all their inventions.
9 Ophøj HERREN vor Gud, bøj eder for hans hellige Bjerg, thi hellig er HERREN vor Gud!
Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.
