Salmenes 99

1 Herren er konge, folki skjelv; han sit på kerubar, jordi ruggar.

A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

2 Herren er stor i Sion, og høg er han yver alle folk.

The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.

3 Dei skal prisa ditt namn, det store og skræmelege, heilag er han.

May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

4 Og i si magt elskar kongen det som rett er; du held rettvisa uppe, du hev gjort rett og rettferd i Jakob.

And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.

5 Høglova Herren, vår Gud, og fall ned for hans fotskammel! Heilag er han.

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.

6 Moses og Aron var millom hans prestar, og Samuel millom deim som kalla på hans namn; dei ropa til Herren, og han svara deim.

Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.

7 I ein skystolpe tala han til deim, dei heldt hans vitnemål og den lov han gav deim.

He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that he gave them.

8 Herre vår Gud, du svara deim, du var deim ein Gud som tilgav deim, men og ein hemnar yver deira gjerningar.

You heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

9 Høglova Herren, vår Gud! Og fall ned for hans heilage fjell! For heilag er Herren, vår Gud.

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.
