Psalms 99

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

Herren er blitt konge, folkene bever, han som troner over kjeruber, jorden ryster.

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

Herren er stor i Sion, og ophøiet er han over alle folkene.

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

De skal prise ditt navn, det store og forferdelige; hellig er han.

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

Og i sin styrke elsker kongen rettferd; du har grunnfestet rettvishet, du har gjort rett og rettferdighet i Jakob.

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

Ophøi Herren vår Gud, og kast eder ned for hans føtters skammel! Hellig er han.

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.

Moses og Aron var blandt hans prester, og Samuel blandt dem som påkalte hans navn; de ropte til Herren, og han svarte dem.

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

I en skystøtte talte han til dem; de holdt hans vidnesbyrd og den lov han gav dem.

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

Herre vår Gud, du svarte dem; du var dem en Gud som tilgav dem, men også en hevner over deres gjerninger.

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

Ophøi Herren vår Gud, og kast eder ned for hans hellige berg! For hellig er Herren vår Gud.
