Salmenes 96

1 Syng for Herren en ny sang, syng for Herren, all jorden!

When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Syng for Herren, lov hans navn, forkynn fra dag til dag hans frelse!

Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day.

3 Fortell blandt hedningene hans ære, blandt alle folkene hans undergjerninger!

Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people.

4 For stor er Herren og høilovet, forferdelig er han over alle guder.

For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.

5 For alle folkenes guder er intet; men Herren har gjort himmelen.

For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Høihet og herlighet er for hans åsyn, styrke og prydelse er i hans helligdom.

Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.

7 Gi Herren, I folkeslekter, gi Herren ære og makt!

Bring to the Lord, ye families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honour.

8 Gi Herren hans navns ære, bær frem gaver og kom til hans forgårder!

Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.

9 Tilbed Herren i hellig prydelse, bev for hans åsyn, all jorden!

Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.

10 Si blandt hedningene: Herren er blitt konge, og jorderike står fast, det rokkes ikke; han dømmer folkene med rettvishet.

Say among the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.

11 Himmelen glede sig, og jorden fryde sig, havet bruse og alt det som fyller det!

Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.

12 Marken fryde sig og alt det som er på den! Da jubler alle trær i skogen

The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:

13 for Herrens åsyn; for han kommer, han kommer for å dømme jorden; han skal dømme jorderike i rettferdighet og folkene i sin trofasthet.

for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.
