Psalms 99

1 A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

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

2 The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.

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

3 May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

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

4 And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.

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

5 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.

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

6 Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.

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

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that he gave them.

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

8 You heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

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

9 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.

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