Psalms 99

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

HERREN har vist, han er Konge, Folkene bæver, han troner på Keruber, Jorden skælver!

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

Stor er HERREN på Zion, ophøjet over alle Folkeslag;

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

de priser dit Navn, det store og frygtelige; 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.

Du er en Konge, der elsker Retfærd, Retten har du grundfæstet, i Jakob, øved du Ret og Retfærd.

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

Ophøj HERREN vor Gud, bøj eder for hans Fødders Skammel; 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.

Moses og Aron er blandt hans Præster og Samuel blandt dem, der påkalder hans Navn; de råber til HERREN, han svarer;

7 He spoke to the people from the pillar of cloud, and they kept the laws and decrees he gave them.

i Skystøtten taler han til dem, de holder hans Vidnesbyrd, Loven, 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 svarer dem. Du var dem en Gud, som tilgav og frikendte dem, for hvad de gjorde.

9 Honor the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy!

Ophøj HERREN vor Gud, bøj eder for hans hellige Bjerg, thi hellig er HERREN vor Gud!
