< Salme 96 >

1 Syng HERREN en ny sang, syng for Herren, al jorden,
Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.
2 syng for HERREN og lov hans Navn, fortæl om hans Frelse Dag efter Dag,
Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.
3 kundgør hans Ære blandt Folkene, hans Undere blandt alle Folkeslag!
Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.
4 Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;
For the Lord is great, and greatly praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 thi alle Folkeslagenes Guder er Afguder, HERREN er Himlens Skaber.
For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.
6 For hans Åsyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.
Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,
Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.
8 giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgårde,
Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.
9 tilbed HERREN i helligt Skrud, bæv for hans Åsyn, al Jorden!
Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.
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;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in equity.
11 Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.
12 Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer
Let the field exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,
13 for HERRENs Åsyn, thi han kommer, han kommer at dømme Jorden; han dømmer Jorden med Retfærd og Folkene i sin Trofasthed.
Before the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.
