Psalms 96
1 Sing to Yahweh a new song! [You people] throughout the earth, sing to Yahweh!
Syngið Drottni nýjan söng! Syngið þann söng um alla jörðina!
2 Sing to Yahweh and praise him [MTY]! Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved/rescued us.
Syngið um velgjörðir hans, lofið nafn hans. Kunngerið hjálpráð hans dag eftir dag.
3 Tell about his glory/greatness to all people-groups; tell all people-groups the marvelous [things that he has done].
Segið frá dýrð hans meðal þjóðanna, – allra þjóða. Kunngerið öllum dásemdarverk hans.
4 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much; he should be revered more than for all the gods,
Því að Drottinn er mikill og mjög vegsamlegur. Hann einn er sá Guð sem rétt er að tilbiðja.
5 because all the gods that other people-groups [worship] are [only] idols, but Yahweh [is truly great]; he created the skies!
Þjóðirnar tilbiðja falsguði eina, en okkar Guð hefur skapað himininn!
6 Those who are in his presence honor him and can see that he is a great king. They can see in his temple that he is very powerful and is very beautiful.
Hann er umvafinn heiðri og dýrð, styrkur og fegurð fylla musteri hans.
7 You people in nations all over the earth, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
Þið kynkvíslir jarðar, játið Drottni heiður og dýrð.
8 Praise Yahweh like he deserves to be praised, Bring an offering and come to his temple.
Heiðrið hann eins og skyldugt er! Berið fram fórnina og tilbiðjið hann.
9 Bow down before Yahweh [when he appears] in his holy/sacred temple; everyone on the earth should tremble in front of him, because he is majestic and holy.
Tilbiðjið Drottin í heilagleik og heiðri. Allur heimurinn skjálfi fyrir augliti hans.
10 Say to all the people-groups, “Yahweh is the king! He put the world in its place, and nothing will ever be able to move/shake it. He will judge [all] the people-groups fairly.”
Kunngjörið þjóðunum að Drottinn er konungur. Hann ríkir yfir alheimi. Hann er skapari jarðar og mun dæma allar þjóðir með réttvísi.
11 [All the beings that are in] [MTY] the heavens should be glad, and all [the people on the] earth should rejoice. The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh].
Himnarnir gleðjist og jörðin kætist og brimgnýr hafsins boði tign hans og mátt.
12 The fields and everything that grows in them should rejoice. When they do that, [it will be as though] all the trees in the forests will sing joyfully
Ávöxtur jarðar vitnar um dýrð hans og þytur trjánna lofar hann.
13 in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth. He will judge all the people fairly/justly, according to [what he knows is] true.
Því að Drottinn mun dæma heiminn með réttvísi og þjóðirnar eftir trúfesti sinni!
