Salme 97
1 Herren regerer! Jorden fryde sig, mange Øer glæde sig!
The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.
2 Sky og Mørke ere trindt omkring ham, Retfærdighed og Dom ere hans Trones Befæstning.
Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ild gaar foran hans Ansigt og fortærer hans Fjender trindt omkring.
There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.
4 Hans Lyn oplyste Jorderige; Jorden saa det og bævede.
His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.
5 Bjergene smeltede som Voks for Herrens Ansigt, for hele Jordens Herres Ansigt.
The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Himlene kundgjorde hans Retfærdighed, og alle Folk saa hans Ære.
The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.
7 Beskæmmede skulle alle de vorde, som tjene et udskaaret Billede, de, som rose sig af Afguderne; tilbeder ham, alle Guder!
Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.
8 Zion hørte det og blev glad, og Judas Døtre frydede sig over dine Domme, Herre!
Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.
9 Thi du, Herre! er den Højeste over al Jorden, du er saare ophøjet over alle Guder.
For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.
10 I, som elske Herren! hader det onde; han bevarer sine helliges Sjæle, han frier dem af de ugudeliges Haand.
Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Lys er saaet for den retfærdige og Glæde for de oprigtige i Hjertet.
Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.
12 Glæder eder, I retfærdige i Herren, og priser hans hellige Ihukommelse!
Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.
