< Salmenes 96 >
1 Syng for Herren en ny sang, syng for Herren, all jorden!
O sing unto the LORD a new song; sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
2 Syng for Herren, lov hans navn, forkynn fra dag til dag hans frelse!
Sing unto the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation from day to day.
3 Fortell blandt hedningene hans ære, blandt alle folkene hans undergjerninger!
Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.
4 For stor er Herren og høilovet, forferdelig er han over alle guder.
For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For alle folkenes guder er intet; men Herren har gjort himmelen.
For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Høihet og herlighet er for hans åsyn, styrke og prydelse er i hans helligdom.
Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7 Gi Herren, I folkeslekter, gi Herren ære og makt!
Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.
8 Gi Herren hans navns ære, bær frem gaver og kom til hans forgårder!
Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.
9 Tilbed Herren i hellig prydelse, bev for hans åsyn, all jorden!
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; 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: 'The LORD reigneth.' The world also is established that it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Himmelen glede sig, og jorden fryde sig, havet bruse og alt det som fyller det!
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; 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 wood 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 the LORD, for He is come; for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in His faithfulness.
