Salme 24

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

“Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;

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

For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.

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

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to 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 is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:

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

He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] 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 that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)

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

Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

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!

Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

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

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