Psalms 98

1 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].

En psalm. Sjungen till HERREN ära en ny sång, ty han har gjort under. Han har vunnit seger med sin högra hand och med sin väldiga arm.

2 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.

HERREN har låtit sin frälsning bliva kunnig, han har uppenbarat sin rättfärdighet för hedningarnas ögon.

3 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].

Han har tänkt på sin nåd och trofasthet mot Israels hus; alla jordens ändar hava sett huru vår Gud frälsar.

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

Höjen jubel till HERREN, alla länder; bristen ut i glädjerop och lovsjungen.

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

Lovsjungen HERREN med harpa, med harpa och med lovsångs ljud.

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

Höjen jubel med trumpeter och med basuners ljud inför HERREN, konungen.

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

Havet bruse och allt vad däri är, jordens krets och de som bo därpå.

8 [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,

Strömmarna klappe i händerna, bergen juble med varandra,

9 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].

inför HERREN, ty han kommer för att döma jorden. Han skall döma jordens krets med rättfärdighet och folken med rättvisa.
