Psalms 98

1 “A psalm.” Oh sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done wonderful things: his right hand and his holy arm have gotten him 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 hath made known his salvation: before the eyes of the nations hath he revealed his righteousness.

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

3 He hath remembered his kindness 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 Shout joyfully unto the Lord, all the lands: break forth, and rejoice, and sing praises.

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

5 Sing praises unto the Lord with the harp, —with the harp, and the voice of psalmody.

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

6 With trumpets and the sound of cornet shout joyfully before the King, the Lord.

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

7 Let the sea roar, with all that filleth it; the world, with those that dwell therein.

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

8 Let the rivers clap their hands; let the mountains be joyful together,

Strømmene klappe i hender, fjellene juble alle sammen

9 Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people with equity.

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