Psaltaren 98

1 En Psalm. Sjunger Herranom en ny viso, ty han gör underlig ting; han vinner seger med sine högra hand, och med sinom helga arm.

Sing to Yahweh a new song, because he has done wonderful things! By his power [MTY] and his great strength [DOU] he has defeated [his enemies].

2 Herren låter förkunna sina salighet; för folken låter han uppenbara sina rättfärdighet.

Yahweh has declared to people that he has defeated his enemies; he has revealed that he has punished [them], and [people in] all the world have seen that he has done it.

3 Han tänker uppå sina nåde och sanning Israels huse; alle verldenes ändar se vår Guds salighet.

Like he promised to us Israeli people [MTY], he has faithfully loved us and (been loyal to/not abandoned) us. [People who live] in very remote places in all the earth have seen that our God has defeated [his enemies].

4 Glädjens Herranom, all verlden; sjunger, priser och lofver.

All you [people] [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh; praise him while you sing and shout joyfully!

5 Lofver Herran med harpor, med harpor och psalmer;

Praise Yahweh while you play the lyres/harps, playing [delightful] music.

6 Med trummeter och basuner; fröjdens för Herranom, Konungenom.

[Some of you should] blow trumpets and other horns, [while others] shout joyfully to Yahweh, [our] king.

7 Hafvet fräse, och hvad deruti är; jordenes krets, och de deruppå bo.

The oceans and all [the creatures] that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh]. Everyone on the earth should sing!

8 Vattuströmmarna fröjde sig, och all berg vare glad,

[It should seem as though] the rivers are clapping their hands [to praise Yahweh] and that the hills are singing together joyfully in front of Yahweh,

9 För Herranom; ty han kommer till att döma jordena; han skall döma jordenes krets med rättfärdighet, och folken med rätt.

because he will come to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth! He will judge [all] the people-groups [in the world] justly and fairly [DOU].
