Psalm 98
A psalm.
1Sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvellous things;
his right hand and his holy arm
have worked salvation for him.
2The Lord has made his salvation known
and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
3He has remembered his love
and his faithfulness to Israel;
all the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.
4Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,
burst into jubilant song with music;
5make music to the Lord with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,
6with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn –
shout for joy before the Lord, the King.
7Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it.
8Let the rivers clap their hands,
let the mountains sing together for joy;
9let them sing before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples with equity.
Lovsang til Gud for hans frelse
1Syng en ny sang for Herren
om de underfulde ting, han har gjort.
Han har vundet en vældig sejr
ved sin egen guddommelige kraft.
2Han har vist sin magt til at frelse,
alle folkeslag har set hans retfærdige dom.
3Han har vist sin trofasthed og nåde mod Israel,
hele jorden har set, hvordan han frelste sit folk.
4Bryd ud i lovsang til Gud, hele jorden,
råb af fryd og syng af glæde.
5Syng for Herren til harpeklang,
lad lovsangen lyde til strengespil,
6til trompeter og vædderhornets lyd,
en vældig symfoni til Herren, vor konge.
7Lad havet med alt dets liv stemme i,
sammen med jorden og alle dens folk.
8Lad floderne juble og klappe i hænderne,
bjergene bryde ud i glædessang for Herren,
9for han kommer og dømmer jorden.
Han dømmer verden med retfærdighed,
alle folkeslag får en fair behandling.
