4 Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;
For the LORD 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.

6 For hans Åsyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.
Honour and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,
Ascribe to the LORD, you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgårde,

Worship the LORD in holy array. 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 amongst the nations, “The LORD reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
12 Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer
Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall 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 comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
