Psalms 99

1 Yahweh, hath become king, Let the peoples, tremble, He is enthroned on the cherubim, Let the earth, shake.

Herren er blitt konge, folkene bever, han som troner over kjeruber, jorden ryster.

2 Yahweh, in Zion, is great, And, high, is he over all the peoples.

Herren er stor i Sion, og ophøiet er han over alle folkene.

3 Let them thank his Name—great and reverend, Holy, is he!

De skal prise ditt navn, det store og forferdelige; hellig er han.

4 Yea, with the strength of a king—justice, he loveth, —Thou, hast established equity, Justice and righteousness in Jacob, thou, hast wrought.

Og i sin styrke elsker kongen rettferd; du har grunnfestet rettvishet, du har gjort rett og rettferdighet i Jakob.

5 Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down at his footstool, Holy, is he!

Ophøi Herren vår Gud, og kast eder ned for hans føtters skammel! Hellig er han.

6 Moses and Aaron, [were] among his priests, And, Samuel, [was] among them who were calling upon his Name, Who were calling upon Yahweh, and, he, used to answer them:

Moses og Aron var blandt hans prester, og Samuel blandt dem som påkalte hans navn; de ropte til Herren, og han svarte dem.

7 In the pillar of cloud, used he to speak unto them, They kept his testimonies, and the statute he gave them.

I en skystøtte talte han til dem; de holdt hans vidnesbyrd og den lov han gav dem.

8 O Yahweh our God! thou, answeredst them, —A pardoning GOD, thou becamest to them, Yet one bringing vengeance on their deeds.

Herre vår Gud, du svarte dem; du var dem en Gud som tilgav dem, men også en hevner over deres gjerninger.

9 Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down towards his holy mountain, For, holy, is Yahweh our God.

Ophøi Herren vår Gud, og kast eder ned for hans hellige berg! For hellig er Herren vår Gud.
