Salmenes 99

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

The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: he sits between 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 the people.

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

Let them praise your great and terrible name; for it is holy.

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

The king’s strength also loves judgment; you do establish equity, you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt you the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he 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 among his priests, and Samuel among them that call on his name; they called on the LORD, and he answered 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 cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance 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 answered them, O LORD our God: you were a God that forgave them, though you took vengeance of 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 worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
