Psalms 96
1 A Canticle of David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing to the Lord a new song. Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Syng Herren ein ny song, syng for Herren, all jordi!
2 Sing to the Lord and bless his name. Announce his salvation from day to day.
Syng for Herren, lova hans namn, forkynn frå dag til dag hans frelsa!
3 Announce his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all peoples.
Fortel millom heidningar hans æra, millom alle folkeslag hans under!
4 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised. He is terrible, beyond all gods.
For Herren er stor og mykje lovsungen, skræmeleg er han framfor alle gudar.
5 For all the gods of the Gentiles are demons, but the Lord made the heavens.
For alle gudar hjå folki er avgudar; men Herren hev gjort himmelen.
6 Confession and beauty are in his sight. Sanctity and magnificence are in his sanctuary.
Høgd og herlegdom er for hans åsyn, styrke og prydnad i hans heilagdom.
7 Bring to the Lord, you natives of the nations, bring to the Lord glory and honor.
Gjev Herren, de folke-ætter, gjev Herren æra og magt!
8 Bring to the Lord glory for his name. Lift up sacrifices, and enter into his courts.
Gjev Herren hans namns æra, tak gåvor med og kom i hans fyregardar!
9 Adore the Lord in his holy court. Let the entire earth be shaken before his face.
Tilbed Herren i heilagt skrud, skjelv for hans åsyn, all jordi!
10 Say among the Gentiles: The Lord has reigned. For he has even corrected the whole world, which will not be shaken. He will judge the peoples with fairness.
Seg millom heidningarne: «Herren er konge, og jordriket stend fast, det let seg ikkje rikka; han dømer folki med rettvisa.»
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; let the sea and all its fullness be moved.
Himmelen glede seg, og jordi fagne seg, havet dure og alt som i det er!
12 The fields and all the things that are in them will be glad. Then all the trees of the forest will rejoice
Marki frygde seg og alt det som på marki er! Då fegnast alle tre i skogen
13 before the face of the Lord: for he arrives. For he arrives to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with fairness and the peoples with his truth.
for Herrens åsyn; for han kjem, for han kjem til å døma jordi; han skal døma jordriket med rettferd og folki i sin truskap.
