< Salme 96 >
1 Syng HERREN en ny Sang, syng for HERREN, al Jorden,
Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.
2 syng for HERREN og lov hans Navn, fortæl om hans Frelse Dag efter Dag,
Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.
3 kundgør hans Ære blandt Folkene, hans Undere blandt alle Folkeslag!
Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.
4 Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;
For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.
5 thi alle Folkeslagenes Guder er Afguder, HERREN er Himlens Skaber.
For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.
6 For hans Aasyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.
Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
7 Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,
Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
8 giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgaarde,
Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.
9 tilbed HERREN i helligt Skrud, bæv for hans Aasyn, al Jorden!
Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of 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 nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also — established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'
11 Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,
The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.
12 Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer
The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,
13 for HERRENS Aasyn, thi han kommer, han kommer at dømme Jorden; han dømmer Jorden med Retfærd og Folkene i sin Trofasthed.
Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
