Psalms 98

1 A psalm. Sing the Lord a new song, for he has done wonderful things: by his powerful right hand and his strong arm he has won the victory.

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 revealed his salvation to the nations, and shown them his goodness.

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

3 He has not forgotten to show his trustworthy love and faithfulness to the descendants of Israel. Our God has made his salvation clear to the ends of the earth.

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

4 Everyone on earth, shout in triumph to the Lord; break out in joyful songs of praise!

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

5 Sing praises to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and melodious voices;

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

6 with trumpets and the sound of the ram's horn sing in happiness before the Lord, the King.

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

7 Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise, together with the earth and everything living in it.

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

8 Let the rivers celebrate, let the hills join in the celebration

Strømmene klappe i hender, fjellene juble alle sammen

9 before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world justly, and the nations fairly.

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