Salme 96
1 Synger for Herren en ny Sang, synger for Herren al Jorden!
Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.
2 Synger for Herren, lover hans Navn, bebuder hans Frelse fra Dag til Dag!
Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.
3 Forkynder hans Ære iblandt Hedningerne, hans underfulde Gerninger iblandt alle Folkeslag.
Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.
4 Thi Herren er stor og saare priselig, han er forfærdelig fremfor alle Guder.
For the Lord is great, and greatly praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 Thi alle Folkenes Guder ere Afguder; men Herren har skabt Himmelen.
For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.
6 Majestæt og Herlighed ere for hans Ansigt, Magt og Prydelse ere i hans Helligdom.
Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Giver Herren, I Folkeslægter! giver Herren Ære og Magt!
Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.
8 Giver Herren hans Navns Ære, frembærer Skænk og kommer til hans Forgaarde!
Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.
9 Tilbeder Herren i hellig Prydelse, bæv for hans Ansigt al Jorden!
Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.
10 Siger iblandt Hedningerne: Herren regerer, og Jorderige staar fast, det rokkes ej; han skal dømme Folkene med Retvished.
Say among the nations, “The Lord reigneth;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in equity.
11 Himlene glæde sig, og Jorden fryde sig; Havet bruse og dets Fylde!
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.
12 Marken fryde sig og alt, hvad der er paa; da skulle alle Træer i Skoven synge med Fryd
Let the field exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,
13 for Herrens Ansigt; thi han kommer, thi han kommer til at dømme Jorden; han skal dømme Jorderige med Retfærdighed og Folkene med sin Sandhed.
Before the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.
