Psalms 98

1 “A psalm.” Sing to the LORD a new song; For he hath done marvellous things; His own 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; His righteousness hath he manifested in the sight of the nations.

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

3 He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel, And 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 unto the LORD, all the earth! Break forth into joy, and exult, and sing!

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

5 Sing to the LORD with the harp, With the harp, and the voice of song!

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

6 With clarions, and the sound of trumpets, Make a joyful noise before the LORD the King!

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

7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein;

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

8 Let the rivers clap their hands, And the mountains rejoice together

Strømmene klappe i hender, fjellene juble alle sammen

9 Before the LORD! for he cometh to judge the earth! With righteousness will he judge the world, And the nations with equity.

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