Salme 24

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

[A Psalm by David.] The earth is the LORD's, and its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

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

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

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

Who may ascend to the LORD's hill? Who may 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 who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, 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 who seek Him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Lift up your heads, you gates. Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

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

Who is the 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, you gates; lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will 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 is the King of glory. (Selah)
