Salmenes 98

1 Ein salme. Syng Herren ein ny song! For han hev gjort under, hans høgre hand hev hjelpt honom, og hans heilage arm.

“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 hev kunngjort si frelsa, for augo på heidningarne hev han openberra si rettferd.

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

3 Han hev kome i hug si miskunn og sin truskap mot Israels hus; alle heimsens endar hev set frelsa frå vår Gud.

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.

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

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

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

8 Elvarne klappe i hender, fjelli fagne seg med

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

9 for Herrens åsyn, for han kjem til å døma jordi, han skal døma jordriket med rettferd og folki med rettvisa.

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