Salmenes 99

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

The LORD reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim; the earth shakes.

2 Herren er stor i Sion, og høg er han yver alle folk.

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

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

Let them praise your great and awesome name. He 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.

Exalt the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. 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 were among his priests, Samuel among those who 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 pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute 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, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.
