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.

Ein salme. Syng Herren ein ny song! For han hev gjort under, hans høgre hand hev hjelpt honom, og hans heilage arm.

2 The Lord has revealed his salvation to the nations, and shown them his goodness.

Herren hev kunngjort si frelsa, for augo på heidningarne hev han openberra si rettferd.

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 hev kome i hug si miskunn og sin truskap mot Israels hus; alle heimsens endar hev set frelsa frå vår Gud.

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

Ropa med gleda for Herren, all jordi! Set i med fagnad og lovsong!

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

Syng lov for Herren med cither, med cither og med lovsongs røyst,

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

med lurar og basunklang gjev fagnadrop for kongen, Herren!

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

Havet dure og alt som i det er, heimen og alle som i heimen bur!

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

Elvarne klappe i hender, fjelli fagne seg med

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 kjem til å døma jordi, han skal døma jordriket med rettferd og folki med rettvisa.
