Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the amazing things he does among all peoples.
4 For stor er Herren og høilovet, forferdelig er han over alle guder.
For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.
5 For alle folkenes guder er intet; men Herren har gjort himmelen.
For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
6 Høihet og herlighet er for hans åsyn, styrke og prydelse er i hans helligdom.
Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
7 Gi Herren, I folkeslekter, gi Herren ære og makt!
Give the Lord acclamation, nations of the world, acclaim him with glory and strength.
8 Gi Herren hans navns ære, bær frem gaver og kom til hans forgårder!
Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 Tilbed Herren i hellig prydelse, bev for hans åsyn, all jorden!
Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness; let all the earth tremble in his presence.
10 Si blandt hedningene: Herren er blitt konge, og jorderike står fast, det rokkes ikke; han dømmer folkene med rettvishet.
Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!” The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart. He will judge everyone fairly.
11 Himmelen glede sig, og jorden fryde sig, havet bruse og alt det som fyller det!
Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy, let the sea and everything in it shout with praise!
12 Marken fryde sig og alt det som er på den! Da jubler alle trær i skogen
Let the fields and everything there celebrate; let all the trees in 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.
In fact, let everything that stands before the Lord sing praises, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with fairness, and the nations with his truth.
