Salmenes 96
1 Syng Herren ein ny song, syng for Herren, all jordi!
Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;
2 Syng for Herren, lova hans namn, forkynn frå dag til dag hans frelsa!
Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, —Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:
3 Fortel millom heidningar hans æra, millom alle folkeslag hans under!
Recount, Among the nations, his glory, Among all the peoples, his wonders.
4 For Herren er stor og mykje lovsungen, skræmeleg er han framfor alle gudar.
For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, To be revered is he above all gods;
5 For alle gudar hjå folki er avgudar; men Herren hev gjort himmelen.
For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought—But, Yahweh, made, the heavens.
6 Høgd og herlegdom er for hans åsyn, styrke og prydnad i hans heilagdom.
Praise and majesty, are before him, Strength and beauty, are in his sanctuary.
7 Gjev Herren, de folke-ætter, gjev Herren æra og magt!
Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength;
8 Gjev Herren hans namns æra, tak gåvor med og kom i hans fyregardar!
Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bring a present, and enter his courts;
9 Tilbed Herren i heilagt skrud, skjelv for hans åsyn, all jordi!
Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness, Be in anguish at his presence, all the earth!
10 Seg millom heidningarne: «Herren er konge, og jordriket stend fast, det let seg ikkje rikka; han dømer folki med rettvisa.»
Say among the nations, Yahweh, hath become King, Surely he hath fixed the world, it shall not be shaken, He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Himmelen glede seg, og jordi fagne seg, havet dure og alt som i det er!
Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult, Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
12 Marki frygde seg og alt det som på marki er! Då fegnast alle tre i skogen
Let the field, leap for joy, and all that is therein, Then, shall all the trees of the forest, shout in triumph,
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.
Before Yahweh, for he is coming, For he is coming to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, in his faithfulness.
