Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the amazing things he does among all peoples.
4 For Herren er stor og mykje lovsungen, skræmeleg er han framfor alle gudar.
For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.
5 For alle gudar hjå folki er avgudar; men Herren hev gjort himmelen.
For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
6 Høgd og herlegdom er for hans åsyn, styrke og prydnad i hans heilagdom.
Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
7 Gjev Herren, de folke-ætter, gjev Herren æra og magt!

Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness; let all the earth tremble in his presence.
10 Seg millom heidningarne: «Herren er konge, og jordriket stend fast, det let seg ikkje rikka; han dømer folki med rettvisa.»
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 seg, og jordi fagne seg, havet dure og alt som i det er!
Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy, let the sea and everything in it shout with praise!
12 Marki frygde seg og alt det som på marki er! Då fegnast alle tre 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 kjem, for han kjem til å døma jordi; han skal døma jordriket med rettferd og folki i sin truskap.
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.
