Salmenes 96
1 Syng for Herren en ny sang, syng for Herren, all jorden!
Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.
2 Syng for Herren, lov hans navn, forkynn fra dag til dag hans frelse!
Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; publish his salvation from day to day.
3 Fortell blandt hedningene hans ære, blandt alle folkene hans undergjerninger!
Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all the peoples.
4 For stor er Herren og høilovet, forferdelig er han over alle guder.
For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised; he is terrible above all gods.
5 For alle folkenes guder er intet; men Herren har gjort himmelen.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.
6 Høihet og herlighet er for hans åsyn, styrke og prydelse er i hans helligdom.
Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Gi Herren, I folkeslekter, gi Herren ære og makt!
Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;
8 Gi Herren hans navns ære, bær frem gaver og kom til hans forgårder!
Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts;
9 Tilbed Herren i hellig prydelse, bev for hans åsyn, all jorden!
Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Si blandt hedningene: Herren er blitt konge, og jorderike står fast, det rokkes ikke; han dømmer folkene med rettvishet.
Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved; he will execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.
11 Himmelen glede sig, og jorden fryde sig, havet bruse og alt det som fyller det!
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
12 Marken fryde sig og alt det som er på den! Da jubler alle trær i skogen
Let the field exult and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,
13 for Herrens åsyn; for han kommer, han kommer for å dømme jorden; han skal dømme jorderike i rettferdighet og folkene i sin trofasthet.
Before Jehovah, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
