Declare his glory among all nations, and his wonders among all people.
4 Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;
For the Lord is great and much to be praysed: he is to be feared aboue all gods.
5 thi alle Folkeslagenes Guder er Afguder, HERREN er Himlens Skaber.
For all the gods of the people are idoles: but the Lord made the heauens.
6 For hans Aasyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.
Strength and glory are before him: power and beautie are in his Sanctuarie.
7 Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,
Giue vnto the Lord, ye families of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and power.
8 giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgaarde,
Giue vnto the Lord the glory of his Name: bring an offering, and enter into his courtes.
9 tilbed HERREN i helligt Skrud, bæv for hans Aasyn, al Jorden!
Worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie: tremble 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 reigneth: surely the world shalbe stable, and not moue, and he shall iudge the people in righteousnesse.
11 Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,
Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roare, and all that therein is.
12 Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer
Let the field be ioyfull, and all that is in it: let all the trees of the wood then reioyce
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 commeth, for he cometh to iudge the earth: he wil iudge the world with righteousnes, and the people in his trueth.
