Psalms 98

1 A Psalm of David himself. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has performed wonders. His right hand has accomplished salvation for him, with his holy arm.

Syngið nýjan söng fyrir Drottin því að hann hefur unnið dásamlegt verk! Hann er sigursæll í mætti sínum og heilagleika.

2 The Lord has made known his salvation. He has revealed his justice in the sight of the nations.

Hann hefur tilkynnt sigur sinn – birt þjóðunum réttlæti sitt.

3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Hann hefur miskunnað lýð sínum, haldið loforð sín til Ísrael. Allur heimurinn sá er Guð bjargaði þjóð sinni.

4 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing and exult, and sing psalms.

Þess vegna hefja löndin fagnaðarsöng, syngja og lofa hann af öllu hjarta.

5 Sing psalms to the Lord with stringed instruments, with strings and the voice of a psalmist,

Syngið Drottni við undirleik hörpu.

6 with subtle wind instruments and the voice of woodwinds. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king.

Blásið í lúðra og básúnur gjalli! Hljómsveitin spili lofgjörðarlag. Hyllið Drottin, konunginn!

7 Let the sea be moved and all its fullness, the whole world and all who dwell in it.

Hafið drynji og lofi Drottin! Jörðin og íbúar hennar reki upp fagnaðaróp!

8 The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will exult together,

Fossarnir klappi lof í lófa og klettarnir syngi gleðisöng,

9 before the presence of the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with justice, and the peoples with fairness.

því að Drottinn mun dæma heiminn í réttlæti sínu og af réttvísi.
