Salme 97
1 Herren regerer! Jorden fryde sig, mange Øer glæde sig!
Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice.
2 Sky og Mørke ere trindt omkring ham, Retfærdighed og Dom ere hans Trones Befæstning.
Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ild gaar foran hans Ansigt og fortærer hans Fjender trindt omkring.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth 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 see his glory.
7 Beskæmmede skulle alle de vorde, som tjene et udskaaret Billede, de, som rose sig af Afguderne; tilbeder ham, alle Guder!
Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.
8 Zion hørte det og blev glad, og Judas Døtre frydede sig over dine Domme, Herre!
Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, 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, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
10 I, som elske Herren! hader det onde; han bevarer sine helliges Sjæle, han frier dem af de ugudeliges Haand.
Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth 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, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Glæder eder, I retfærdige i Herren, og priser hans hellige Ihukommelse!
Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.
