Salme 96
1 Syng HERREN en ny Sang, syng for HERREN, al Jorden,
Sing to the Lord a new song! All the earth, sing to the Lord!
2 syng for HERREN og lov hans Navn, fortæl om hans Frelse Dag efter Dag,
Sing to the Lord, and of his wonderful reputation! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!
3 kundgør hans Ære blandt Folkene, hans Undere blandt alle Folkeslag!
Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the amazing things he does among all peoples.
4 Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;
For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.
5 thi alle Folkeslagenes Guder er Afguder, HERREN er Himlens Skaber.
For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
6 For hans Aasyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.
Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
7 Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,
Give the Lord acclamation, nations of the world, acclaim him with glory and strength.
8 giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgaarde,
Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 tilbed HERREN i helligt Skrud, bæv for hans Aasyn, al Jorden!
Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness; let all the earth tremble in his presence.
10 Sig blandt Folkeslag: »HERREN har vist, han er Konge, han grundfæsted Jorden, den rokkes ikke, med Retfærd dømmer han Folkene.«
Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!” The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart. He will judge everyone fairly.
11 Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,
Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy, let the sea and everything in it shout with praise!
12 Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer
Let the fields and everything there celebrate; let all the trees in the forest sing for joy.
13 for HERRENS Aasyn, thi han kommer, han kommer at dømme Jorden; han dømmer Jorden med Retfærd og Folkene i sin Trofasthed.
In fact, let everything that stands before the Lord sing praises, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with fairness, and the nations with his truth.
