Salmenes 99

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

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 ophøiet er han over alle folkene.

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

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

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

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

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it 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 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 en skystøtte talte han til dem; de holdt hans vidnesbyrd og den lov han gav dem.

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

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

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

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