Salmenes 98

1 En salme. Syng Herren en ny sang! For han har gjort underlige ting; hans høire hånd og hans hellige arm har hjulpet ham.

“A psalm.” Sing to the LORD a new song; For he hath done marvellous things; His own right hand and his holy arm have gotten him the victory!

2 Herren har kunngjort sin frelse, åpenbaret sin rettferdighet for hedningenes øine.

The LORD hath made known his salvation; His righteousness hath he manifested in the sight of the nations.

3 Han har kommet i hu sin miskunnhet og sin trofasthet mot Israels hus; alle jordens ender har sett vår Guds frelse.

He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel, And all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Rop med glede for Herren, all jorden, bryt ut i jubel og lovsang!

Shout unto the LORD, all the earth! Break forth into joy, and exult, and sing!

5 Lovsyng Herren til citar, til citar og med sangens røst,

Sing to the LORD with the harp, With the harp, and the voice of song!

6 til trompeter og basunens røst! Rop med fryd for kongens, Herrens åsyn!

With clarions, and the sound of trumpets, Make a joyful noise before the LORD the King!

7 Havet bruse og alt det som fyller det, jorderike og de som bor der!

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein;

8 Strømmene klappe i hender, fjellene juble alle sammen

Let the rivers clap their hands, And the mountains rejoice together

9 for Herrens åsyn, for han kommer for å dømme jorden; han skal dømme jorderike med rettferdighet og folkene med rettvishet.

Before the LORD! for he cometh to judge the earth! With righteousness will he judge the world, And the nations with equity.
