Salmenes 99

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

A Psalm of David. The Lord reigns; —let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved.

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

The Lord is great in Sion, and is high over all the people.

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

Let them give thanks to your great name; for it is terrible and holy.

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

And the king's honour loves judgement; you have prepared equity, you have wrought judgement and justice in Jacob.

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

Exalt 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 amongst his priests, and Samuel amongst them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he heard them.

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

He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which 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.

O Lord our God, you heard them; O God, you became propitious to them, though you did take vengeance on all their devices.

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

Exalt you the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.
