< Salme 96 >
1 Syng HERREN en ny sang, syng for Herren, al jorden,
O 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; praise his name, Show forth his salvation from day to day!
3 kundgør hans Ære blandt Folkene, hans Undere blandt alle Folkeslag!
Proclaim his glory among the nations, His wonders among all people!
4 Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;
For Jehovah is great, and greatly to be 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 Jehovah made the heavens.
6 For hans Åsyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.
Honor and majesty are before him; Glory and beauty are in his holy abode.
7 Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,
Give to Jehovah, ye tribes of the people, Give to Jehovah glory and praise!
8 giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgårde,
Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Bring an offering, and come into his courts!
9 tilbed HERREN i helligt Skrud, bæv for hans Åsyn, al Jorden!
O worship Jehovah in holy attire! 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, Jehovah is king; The world shall stand firm; it shall not be moved; He will judge the nations in righteousness.
11 Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
12 Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer
Let the fields be joyful, with all that is therein; Let all the trees of the forest rejoice
13 for HERRENs Åsyn, thi han kommer, han kommer at dømme Jorden; han dømmer Jorden med Retfærd og Folkene i sin Trofasthed.
Before Jehovah! for he cometh, He cometh to judge the earth! He will judge the world with justice, And the nations with faithfulness.
