Salmenes 99

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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