Salme 99

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

The LORD reigneth, let the nations tremble! He sitteth between the cherubs, let the earth quake!

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

Great is the LORD upon Zion; He is exalted over all the nations.

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

Let men praise thy great and terrible name! It is holy.

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

Let them declare the glory of the King who loveth justice! Thou hast established equity; Thou dost execute justice in Jacob!

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

Exalt ye Jehovah, our God, And bow yourselves down at 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, with his priests, And Samuel, who called upon 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 to them in the cloudy pillar; They kept his commandments, And the ordinances 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, O LORD, our God! didst answer them; Thou wast to them a forgiving God, Though thou didst punish their transgressions!

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

Exalt the LORD, our God. And worship at his holy mountain! For the LORD, our God, is holy.
