Blade,
This page provides a helpful resource for obtaining foreign language psalters and psalm CDs. However, it indicates that Hebrew and Arabic psalms are more likely to be chanted than sung in metrical meter, and it does not mention Scandinavians psalms.
This previous thread identifies psalm CDs in French and Polish, both of which can be obtained at Amazon. Amazon also has an out-of-print audio CD listed called Psaumes De David en Hebreu Biblique (Psalms of David in Biblical Hebrew -- chant). There are other items of interest to be found on Amazon, including German psalms.
This site has the Hebrew psalms online. This site has Hebrew psalm melodies.
I also found this article of note concerning a man who translated the Bible and (I think) some of the Psalter into Arabic.
This Dutch site has the tunes for the 1562 Genevan Psalter online.
If Scottish counts as a foreign language
you can get the Scottish metrical psalms on CD here. And this link tells about Gaelic psalm singing. Here is an interesting article which connects Gaelic psalmody with Black American Presbyterian churches.

Here's a group called The Danish Psalm Duo.
Here's a little blurp about them:
A concert with the Danish Psalm Duo is a fascinating travel through 800 years of Danish church music, and a fruitful meeting between Scandinavian folk music and American jazz. The Danish Psalm Duo is based in Aarhus, Denmark and consists of Hans Esbjerg on piano and Christian Vuust on saxophones and clarinet.
Since 1996, the Danish Psalm Duo has performed in concert halls and churches in Denmark and Germany. The Danish Psalm Duo plays new instrumental interpretations of traditional psalms from Denmark (many of which derive from medieval Central Europe), in a way that is never heard before. The music is inspired by Nordic and American jazz, Nordic folk music and European classical music. But the core of the music consists of the beautiful and vital Danish traditional psalms - with melodies and harmonies that any modern composer can envy.
Many of these psalms have been a part of the every day life of ordinary Danes for centuries! You can say that the psalms are Danish "standards" - i.e. classics The Danish Psalm Duo has released two CD's: Den Danske Salmeduo in 1998 (which simply means the Danish Psalm Duo) and Se, nu stiger solen in 2002. Both CD's are co-produced by Tobias Sjogren from Gothenburg, Sweden.
