Salme 99

1 HERREN har vist, han er Konge, Folkene bæver, han troner på Keruber, Jorden skælver!

The LORD reigneth; let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake.

2 Stor er HERREN på Zion, ophøjet over alle Folkeslag;

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

3 de priser dit Navn, det store og frygtelige; hellig er han!

Let them praise Thy name as great and awful; Holy is He.

4 Du er en Konge, der elsker Retfærd, Retten har du grundfæstet, i Jakob, øved du Ret og Retfærd.

The strength also of the king who loveth justice — Thou hast established equity, Thou hast executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Ophøj HERREN vor Gud, bøj eder for hans Fødders Skammel; hellig er han!

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool; Holy is He.

6 Moses og Aron er blandt hans Præster og Samuel blandt dem, der påkalder hans Navn; de råber til HERREN, han svarer;

Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His name, did call upon the LORD, and He answered them.

7 i Skystøtten taler han til dem, de holder hans Vidnesbyrd, Loven, han gav dem;

He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud; they kept His testimonies, and the statute that He gave them.

8 HERRE vor Gud, du svarer dem. Du var dem en Gud, som tilgav og frikendte dem, for hvad de gjorde.

O LORD our God, Thou didst answer them; a forgiving God wast Thou unto them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

9 Ophøj HERREN vor Gud, bøj eder for hans hellige Bjerg, thi hellig er HERREN vor Gud!

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