Psalms 99

1 The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

Herren regerer, Folkene bæve; han sidder over Keruber, Jorden ryster.

2 The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

Herren er stor i Zion, og han er ophøjet over alle Folkene.

3 Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

De skulle prise dit Navn som stort og forfærdeligt — hellig er han! —

4 The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

Og Kongens Vælde elsker Ret; du har befæstet Retvished, du har gjort Ret og Retfærdighed i Jakob.

5 Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

Ophøjer Herren vor Gud og tilbeder for hans Fødders Fodskammel — hellig er han! —

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

Mose og Aron iblandt hans Præster og Samuel iblandt dem, som paakaldte hans Navn, raabte til Herren, og han bønhørte dem.

7 His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

Han talte til dem i Skystøtten; de holdt hans Vidnesbyrd og den Skik, som han gav dem.

8 You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

Herre, vor Gud! du bønhørte dem, du var dem en Gud, som tilgav dem, men ogsaa en Hævner over deres Gerninger.

9 Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

Ophøjer Herren vor Gud og tilbeder for hans hellige Bjerg; thi hellig er Herren vor Gud.
