Salmenes 99

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

The LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

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

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

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

Let them praise your great and awesome name. He 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 justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. 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 were among his priests, Samuel was among those who call on his name. They called on 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 to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute 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, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

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

Exalt the LORD, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for the LORD, our God, is holy!
