Salme 96

1 Syng HERREN en ny sang, syng for Herren, al jorden,

O sing unto the LORD a new song; sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

2 syng for HERREN og lov hans Navn, fortæl om hans Frelse Dag efter Dag,

Sing unto the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

3 kundgør hans Ære blandt Folkene, hans Undere blandt alle Folkeslag!

Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

4 Thi stor og højlovet er HERREN, forfærdelig over alle Guder;

For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

5 thi alle Folkeslagenes Guder er Afguder, HERREN er Himlens Skaber.

For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.

6 For hans Åsyn er Højhed og Hæder, Lov og Pris i hans Helligdom.

Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

7 Giv HERREN, I Folkeslags Slægter, giv HERREN Ære og Pris,

Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.

8 giv HERREN hans Navns Ære, bring Gaver og kom til hans Forgårde,

Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.

9 tilbed HERREN i helligt Skrud, bæv for hans Åsyn, al Jorden!

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

10 Sig blandt Folkeslag: "HERREN har vist, han er Konge, han grundfæsted Jorden, den rokkes ikke, med Retfærd dømmer han Folkene."

Say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.' The world also is established that it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

11 Himlen glæde sig, Jorden juble, Havet med dets Fylde bruse,

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

12 Marken juble og alt, hvad den bærer! Da fryder sig alle Skovens Træer

Let the field exult; and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;

13 for HERRENs Åsyn, thi han kommer, han kommer at dømme Jorden; han dømmer Jorden med Retfærd og Folkene i sin Trofasthed.

Before the LORD, for He is come; for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in His faithfulness.
