Salme 99

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

The Lord reigneth; people tremble: he sitteth enthroned over the cherubim; the earth is moved.

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

The Lord is great in Zion; and he is exalted above all the people.

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

They will give thanks to thy name, great, and terrible, [and] holy it is.

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

And to the power of the king who loveth justice and righteousness hast thou truly executed in Jacob.

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

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his footstool: he 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 were among his priests, and Samuel among those that call on his name; they called on the Lord, and he answered them.

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

In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto them.

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

O Lord, our God, thou didst answer them: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

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

Exalt the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.
