Salme 96

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

Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord, all the earth.

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

Sing to the Lord, bless his name, from day to day herald his victory.

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

Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.

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

For great is the Lord and worthy all praise; held in awe, above all gods:

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

for all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord created the heavens.

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

Before him are splendour and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.

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

Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

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

Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.

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

Bow to the Lord in holy array: 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 to the nations, ‘The Lord is king.’ The world stands firm to be shaken no more. He will judge the peoples with equity.

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

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.

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

Let the field, and all that is in it, exult; let the trees of the forest ring out their 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 comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
