Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim; the earth shakes.

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

2 The LORD is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

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

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy.

Þeir tigni hans háa og heilaga nafn!

4 The King's strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

5 Exalt the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy.

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

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who 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 pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

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

8 You answered them, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

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

9 Exalt the LORD, our God. Worship at his holy mountain, for the LORD, our God, is holy.

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