Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

Drottinn er konungur! Þjóðirnar skjálfi! Hásæti hans stendur miklu ofar englunum. Jörðin nötri í óttablandinni virðingu.

2 Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

Drottinn ríkir með hátign á Síon, æðri öllum konungum á jörðu.

3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!

Þeir tigni hans háa og heilaga nafn!

4 The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

Drottinn er voldugur konungur. Hann elskar réttlæti. Réttvísi og heiðarleiki einkenna stjórnarfar hans. Þannig ríkir hann í Ísrael.

5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

Vegsamið Drottin, hinn heilaga Guð! Föllum fram við fótskör hans.

6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

Móse og Aron voru prestar hans og Samúel spámaður hans. Þeir báðu til Drottins og hann bænheyrði þá.

7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

Úr skýstólpa talaði hann við þá, þeir hlustuðu og hlýddu fyrirmælum hans.

8 O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

Ó, Drottinn, þú ert okkar Guð! Þú svaraðir þeim og fyrirgafst syndir þeirra.

9 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.

Tignið Drottin Guð! Tilbiðjið hann í Jerúsalem á fjallinu helga. Hann er heilagur.
