Psalms 98

1 A Psalm of David himself. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has performed wonders. His right hand has accomplished salvation for him, with his holy arm.

En salme. Syng Herren en ny sang! For han har gjort underlige ting; hans høire hånd og hans hellige arm har hjulpet ham.

2 The Lord has made known his salvation. He has revealed his justice in the sight of the nations.

Herren har kunngjort sin frelse, åpenbaret sin rettferdighet for hedningenes øine.

3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Han har kommet i hu sin miskunnhet og sin trofasthet mot Israels hus; alle jordens ender har sett vår Guds frelse.

4 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing and exult, and sing psalms.

Rop med glede for Herren, all jorden, bryt ut i jubel og lovsang!

5 Sing psalms to the Lord with stringed instruments, with strings and the voice of a psalmist,

Lovsyng Herren til citar, til citar og med sangens røst,

6 with subtle wind instruments and the voice of woodwinds. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king.

til trompeter og basunens røst! Rop med fryd for kongens, Herrens åsyn!

7 Let the sea be moved and all its fullness, the whole world and all who dwell in it.

Havet bruse og alt det som fyller det, jorderike og de som bor der!

8 The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will exult together,

Strømmene klappe i hender, fjellene juble alle sammen

9 before the presence of the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with justice, and the peoples with fairness.

for Herrens åsyn, for han kommer for å dømme jorden; han skal dømme jorderike med rettferdighet og folkene med rettvishet.
