Psalms 99

1 The Lord is king; let the nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

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

2 The Lord is great in Zion, he is high over all the nations.

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

3 Let them praise your great and terrible name. Holy is he.

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

4 You are a king who loves justice, equity you have established: justice and right you have wrought for Jacob.

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

5 Exalt the Lord our God, bow down at his footstool. Holy is he.

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

6 Among his priests were Moses and Aaron, Samuel among those who called on his name. They called to the Lord, and he gave them answer.

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 them in the pillar of cloud, they kept his commands and the statute 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 gave them answer. A God of forgiveness were you to them, who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

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; bow down at his holy mountain. For holy is the Lord our God.

Ophøjer Herren vor Gud og tilbeder for hans hellige Bjerg; thi hellig er Herren vor Gud.
