Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: he sits between the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

Drottinn er konungur! Þjóðirnar skjálfi! Hásæti hans stendur miklu ofar englunum. Jörðin nötri í óttablandinni virðingu.

2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

Drottinn ríkir með hátign á Síon, æðri öllum konungum á jörðu.

3 Let them praise your great and terrible name; for it is holy.

Þeir tigni hans háa og heilaga nafn!

4 The king’s strength also loves judgment; you do establish equity, you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

Drottinn er voldugur konungur. Hann elskar réttlæti. Réttvísi og heiðarleiki einkenna stjórnarfar hans. Þannig ríkir hann í Ísrael.

5 Exalt you the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

Vegsamið Drottin, hinn heilaga Guð! Föllum fram við fótskör hans.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call on his name; they called on the LORD, and he answered them.

Móse og Aron voru prestar hans og Samúel spámaður hans. Þeir báðu til Drottins og hann bænheyrði þá.

7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

Úr skýstólpa talaði hann við þá, þeir hlustuðu og hlýddu fyrirmælum hans.

8 You answered them, O LORD our God: you were a God that forgave them, though you took vengeance of their inventions.

Ó, Drottinn, þú ert okkar Guð! Þú svaraðir þeim og fyrirgafst syndir þeirra.

9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

Tignið Drottin Guð! Tilbiðjið hann í Jerúsalem á fjallinu helga. Hann er heilagur.
