< Salme 96 >
1 Syng HERREN en ny sang, syng for Herren, al jorden,
Sing to YHWH a new song, Sing to YHWH all the earth.
2 syng for HERREN og lov hans Navn, fortæl om hans Frelse Dag efter Dag,
Sing to YHWH, bless His Name, Proclaim His salvation from day to day.
3 kundgør hans Ære blandt Folkene, hans Undere blandt alle Folkeslag!
Declare His glory among nations, His wonders among all the peoples.
4 Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;
For YHWH [is] great, and greatly praised, He [is] fearful over all gods.
5 thi alle Folkeslagenes Guder er Afguder, HERREN er Himlens Skaber.
For all the gods of the peoples [are] nothing, And YHWH made the heavens.
6 For hans Åsyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.
Splendor and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
7 Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,
Ascribe to YHWH, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.
8 giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgårde,
Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Lift up a present and come into His courts.
9 tilbed HERREN i helligt Skrud, bæv for hans Åsyn, al Jorden!
Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the honor 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, “YHWH has reigned, Also—the world is established, unmoved, He judges the peoples in uprightness.”
11 Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,
The heavens rejoice, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fullness roar.
12 Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer
The field exults, and all that [is] in it, Then all trees of the forest sing,
13 for HERRENs Åsyn, thi han kommer, han kommer at dømme Jorden; han dømmer Jorden med Retfærd og Folkene i sin Trofasthed.
Before YHWH, for He has come, For He has come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
