Herren er jordens konge og dommer
1Syng en ny sang for Herren,
lad hele jorden synge med.
2Syng Herrens pris og lov hans navn,
fortæl om hans frelse hver eneste dag.
3Lad alle folk høre om hans vældige undere,
fortæl om de forunderlige ting, han har gjort.
4For Herren er stor, og æren er hans,
ingen andre guder er værd at tilbede.
5Andre folks guder er falske guder,
men Herren har skabt både himlen og jorden.
6Han udstråler kongelig værdighed,
styrke og skønhed kommer fra hans nærvær.
7Pris Herren, alle verdens folk,
forstå hans herlighed og magt.
8Giv Herren den ære, der tilkommer ham,
bring jeres gaver og tilbed i hans tempel.
9Tilbed Herren i helligt skrud,
bøj knæ for ham, alle jordens folk.
10Fortæl folkeslagene, at Herren er konge,
han skabte jorden på et sikkert fundament,
og han vil dømme alle folkeslag retfærdigt.
11Lad himlen glæde sig og jorden juble,
lad havene bruse i lovprisning,
12lad marken med sin afgrøde juble,
lad lovsangen suse i skovens træer,
13for Herren kommer,
han er på vej for at dømme jorden.
Han dømmer verden med retfærdighed,
alle jordens folk får en fair behandling.

2Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
6Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
8Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.96.8 due…: Heb. of his name
9O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.96.9 in the…: or, in the glorious sanctuary
10Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.96.11 the fulness…: or, all it containeth
12Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
