Psalms 99

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

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

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

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

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy!

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

4 The King’s strength also loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

5 Exalt the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy!

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

6 Moses and Aaron were amongst his priests, Samuel was amongst those who call on his name. They called on the LORD, and he answered 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 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

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

8 You answered them, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

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

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

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