Salmenes 96

1 Syng for Herren en ny sang, syng for Herren, all jorden!

O sing to the LORD a new song: sing to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Syng for Herren, lov hans navn, forkynn fra dag til dag hans frelse!

Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.

3 Fortell blandt hedningene hans ære, blandt alle folkene hans undergjerninger!

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4 For stor er Herren og høilovet, forferdelig er han over alle guder.

For the LORD [is] great, and greatly 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 nations [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

6 Høihet og herlighet er for hans åsyn, styrke og prydelse er i hans helligdom.

Honor and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty [are] in his sanctuary.

7 Gi Herren, I folkeslekter, gi Herren ære og makt!

Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.

8 Gi Herren hans navns ære, bær frem gaver og kom til hans forgårder!

Give to the LORD the glory [due to] 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: fear 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 heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he will judge the people righteously.

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 fullness of it.

12 Marken fryde sig og alt det som er på den! Da jubler alle trær i skogen

Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] in it: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD:

13 for Herrens åsyn; for han kommer, han kommer for å dømme jorden; han skal dømme jorderike i rettferdighet og folkene i sin trofasthet.

For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
