< Salme 96 >

1 Syng HERREN en ny Sang, syng for HERREN, al Jorden,
O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.
2 syng for HERREN og lov hans Navn, fortæl om hans Frelse Dag efter Dag,
Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.
3 kundgør hans Ære blandt Folkene, hans Undere blandt alle Folkeslag!
Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.
4 Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;
For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; he is more to be feared than all other gods.
5 thi alle Folkeslagenes Guder er Afguder, HERREN er Himlens Skaber.
For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.
6 For hans Aasyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.
Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.
7 Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,
Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.
8 giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgaarde,
Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.
9 tilbed HERREN i helligt Skrud, bæv for hans Aasyn, al Jorden!
O give worship to the Lord in holy robes; be in fear before him, all the earth.
10 Sig blandt Folkeslag: »HERREN har vist, han er Konge, han grundfæsted Jorden, den rokkes ikke, med Retfærd dømmer han Folkene.«
Say among the nations, The Lord is King; yes, the world is ordered so that it may not be moved; he will be an upright judge of the peoples.
11 Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,
Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters;
12 Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer
Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy,
13 for HERRENS Aasyn, thi han kommer, han kommer at dømme Jorden; han dømmer Jorden med Retfærd og Folkene i sin Trofasthed.
Before the Lord, for he is come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.
