Salmenes 99

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

The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

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

The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

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

Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

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

The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

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

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

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 among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

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

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law 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.

You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

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

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
