Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigneth, let the nations tremble! He sitteth between the cherubs, let the earth quake!

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

2 Great is the LORD upon Zion; He is exalted over all the nations.

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

3 Let men praise thy great and terrible name! It is holy.

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

4 Let them declare the glory of the King who loveth justice! Thou hast established equity; Thou dost execute justice in Jacob!

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

5 Exalt ye Jehovah, our God, And bow yourselves down at his footstool! He is holy.

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

6 Moses and Aaron, with his priests, And Samuel, who called upon his name, —They called upon the LORD, 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 spake to them in the cloudy pillar; They kept his commandments, And the ordinances which he gave them.

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

8 Thou, O LORD, our God! didst answer them; Thou wast to them a forgiving God, Though thou didst punish their transgressions!

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 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.
