< Salme 96 >

1 Syng HERREN en ny Sang, syng for HERREN, al Jorden,
Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;
2 syng for HERREN og lov hans Navn, fortæl om hans Frelse Dag efter Dag,
Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, —Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:
3 kundgør hans Ære blandt Folkene, hans Undere blandt alle Folkeslag!
Recount, Among the nations, his glory, Among all the peoples, his wonders.
4 Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;
For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, To be revered is he above all gods;
5 thi alle Folkeslagenes Guder er Afguder, HERREN er Himlens Skaber.
For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought—But, Yahweh, made, the heavens.
6 For hans Aasyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.
Praise and majesty, are before him, Strength and beauty, are in his sanctuary.
7 Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,
Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength;
8 giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgaarde,
Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bring a present, and enter his courts;
9 tilbed HERREN i helligt Skrud, bæv for hans Aasyn, al Jorden!
Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness, Be in anguish at his presence, 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, Yahweh, hath become King, Surely he hath fixed the world, it shall not be shaken, He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,
Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult, Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
12 Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer
Let the field, leap for joy, and all that is therein, Then, shall all the trees of the forest, shout in triumph,
13 for HERRENS Aasyn, thi han kommer, han kommer at dømme Jorden; han dømmer Jorden med Retfærd og Folkene i sin Trofasthed.
Before Yahweh, for he is coming, For he is coming to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, in his faithfulness.
