Salme 24

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

The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

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

For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

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

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in 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 that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive the 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 them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. (Selah)

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

Lift up your heads, O all of you gates; and be all of you lift up, all of you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

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

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

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

Lift up your heads, O all of you gates; even lift them up, all of you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

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

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
