Salme 24

1 En Psalme af David. Herrens er Jorden og dens Fylde, Jorderige og de, der bo derpaa.

A Psalm. Of David. The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

2 Thi han grundfæstede den paa Havene og gjorde den fast over Strømmene.

For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

3 Hvo skal gaa op paa Herrens Bjerg? hvo skal staa paa hans hellige Sted?

Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

4 Den, som har uskyldige Hænder og er ren af Hjertet; den, som ikke har sat sin Hu til Løgn og ej svoret svigeligt.

He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

5 Han skal annamme Velsignelse fra Herren og Retfærdighed fra sin Frelses Gud.

He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Dette er den Slægt, som spørger efter ham, de, som søge dit Ansigt, Jakobs Børn. (Sela)

This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

7 I Porte, opløfter eders Hoveder, ja, opløfter eden, I evige Døre, at Ærens Konge kan drage ind!

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

8 Hvo er denne Ærens Konge? Herren, stærk og mægtig, Herren, mægtig i Strid.

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

9 I Porte, opløfter eders Hoveder, ja opløfter eder, I evige Døre, at Ærens Konge kan drage ind!

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

10 Hvo er han, den Ærens Konge? Herren Zebaoth, han er Ærens Konge. (Sela)

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
