Salme 97
1 Herren regerer! Jorden fryde sig, mange Øer glæde sig!
Jehovah reigns! Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Sky og Mørke ere trindt omkring ham, Retfærdighed og Dom ere hans Trones Befæstning.
Clouds and darkness are round about him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ild gaar foran hans Ansigt og fortærer hans Fjender trindt omkring.
A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries round about.
4 Hans Lyn oplyste Jorderige; Jorden saa det og bævede.
His lightnings lightened the world. The earth saw, and trembled.
5 Bjergene smeltede som Voks for Herrens Ansigt, for hele Jordens Herres Ansigt.
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Himlene kundgjorde hans Retfærdighed, og alle Folk saa hans Ære.
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Beskæmmede skulle alle de vorde, som tjene et udskaaret Billede, de, som rose sig af Afguderne; tilbeder ham, alle Guder!
Let all those be put to shame who serve graven images, who boast themselves of idols. Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
8 Zion hørte det og blev glad, og Judas Døtre frydede sig over dine Domme, Herre!
Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9 Thi du, Herre! er den Højeste over al Jorden, du er saare ophøjet over alle Guder.
For thou, Jehovah, are most high above all the earth. Thou are exalted far above all gods.
10 I, som elske Herren! hader det onde; han bevarer sine helliges Sjæle, han frier dem af de ugudeliges Haand.
O ye who love Jehovah, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his sanctified. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Lys er saaet for den retfærdige og Glæde for de oprigtige i Hjertet.
Light is sown for the righteous man, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Glæder eder, I retfærdige i Herren, og priser hans hellige Ihukommelse!
Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous, and give thanks to the memory of his holiness.
