10 Seg millom heidningarne: «Herren er konge, og jordriket stend fast, det let seg ikkje rikka; han dømer folki med rettvisa.»
Say among the heathen that the LORD reigns: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Himmelen glede seg, og jordi fagne seg, havet dure og alt som i det er!
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof.
12 Marki frygde seg og alt det som på marki er! Då fegnast alle tre i skogen
Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 for Herrens åsyn; for han kjem, for han kjem til å døma jordi; han skal døma jordriket med rettferd og folki i sin truskap.
Before the LORD: for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
