< Psalms 96 >
1 O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.
Syng HERREN en ny sang, syng for Herren, al jorden,
2 Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.
syng for HERREN og lov hans Navn, fortæl om hans Frelse Dag efter Dag,
3 Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.
kundgør hans Ære blandt Folkene, hans Undere blandt alle Folkeslag!
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; he is more to be feared than all other gods.
Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;
5 For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.
thi alle Folkeslagenes Guder er Afguder, HERREN er Himlens Skaber.
6 Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.
For hans Åsyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.
7 Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.
Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,
8 Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.
giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgårde,
9 O give worship to the Lord in holy robes; be in fear before him, all the earth.
tilbed HERREN i helligt Skrud, bæv for hans Åsyn, al Jorden!
10 Say among the nations, The Lord is King; yes, the world is ordered so that it may not be moved; he will be an upright judge of the peoples.
Sig blandt Folkeslag: "HERREN har vist, han er Konge, han grundfæsted Jorden, den rokkes ikke, med Retfærd dømmer han Folkene."
11 Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters;
Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,
12 Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy,
Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer
13 Before the Lord, for he is come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.
for HERRENs Åsyn, thi han kommer, han kommer at dømme Jorden; han dømmer Jorden med Retfærd og Folkene i sin Trofasthed.
