Psalms 99

1 The Lord reigns; let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne above the cherubim; let the earth shake!

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

2 The Lord rules supreme in Zion, he is sovereign over all the nations.

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

3 Let them praise his greatness, and respect him for who he is—for he is holy,

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

4 having kingly power. You love justice; you make impartial decisions. You have made sure everything is done in fairness and according to what's right.

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

5 Give respect to the Lord our God! Bow down at his feet, for he is holy!

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

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel also prayed to him. They called out to the Lord for help, and he answered 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 the people from the pillar of cloud, and they kept the laws and decrees he gave them.

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

8 Lord our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, but you punished them when they did wrong.

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

9 Honor the Lord our God, and worship at 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.
