Psalms 98

1 A psalm. Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have given him victory.

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

2 Yahweh has made known his salvation; he has openly showed his justice to all the nations.

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

3 He calls to mind his covenant loyalty and faithfulness for the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth will see the victory of our God.

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

4 Shout for joy to Yahweh, all the earth; burst into song, sing for joy, and sing praises.

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

5 Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp, with the harp and melodious song.

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

6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn, make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh.

med lurar og basunklang gjev fagnadrop for kongen, Herren!

7 Let the sea shout and everything in it, the world and those who live in it!

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

8 Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the mountains shout for joy.

Elvarne klappe i hender, fjelli fagne seg med

9 Yahweh is coming to judge the earth; he will judge the world with righteousness and the nations with fairness.

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