Psalms 96
1 Sing to the Lord a new song! All the earth, sing to the Lord!
Syng Herren ein ny song, syng for Herren, all jordi!
2 Sing to the Lord, and of his wonderful reputation! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!
Syng for Herren, lova hans namn, forkynn frå dag til dag hans frelsa!
3 Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the amazing things he does among all peoples.
Fortel millom heidningar hans æra, millom alle folkeslag hans under!
4 For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.
For Herren er stor og mykje lovsungen, skræmeleg er han framfor alle gudar.
5 For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
For alle gudar hjå folki er avgudar; men Herren hev gjort himmelen.
6 Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
Høgd og herlegdom er for hans åsyn, styrke og prydnad i hans heilagdom.
7 Give the Lord acclamation, nations of the world, acclaim him with glory and strength.
Gjev Herren, de folke-ætter, gjev Herren æra og magt!
8 Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come into his courts.
Gjev Herren hans namns æra, tak gåvor med og kom i hans fyregardar!
9 Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness; let all the earth tremble in his presence.
Tilbed Herren i heilagt skrud, skjelv for hans åsyn, all jordi!
10 Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!” The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart. He will judge everyone fairly.
Seg millom heidningarne: «Herren er konge, og jordriket stend fast, det let seg ikkje rikka; han dømer folki med rettvisa.»
11 Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy, let the sea and everything in it shout with praise!
Himmelen glede seg, og jordi fagne seg, havet dure og alt som i det er!
12 Let the fields and everything there celebrate; let all the trees in the forest sing for joy.
Marki frygde seg og alt det som på marki er! Då fegnast alle tre i skogen
13 In fact, let everything that stands before the Lord sing praises, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with fairness, and the nations 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.
