< Salme 97 >

1 Herren regerer! Jorden fryde sig, mange Øer glæde sig!
The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
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 habitation of his throne.
3 Ild gaar foran hans Ansigt og fortærer hans Fjender trindt omkring.
A fire goes before him, and burns up his enemies round about.
4 Hans Lyn oplyste Jorderige; Jorden saa det og bævede.
His lightning enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Bjergene smeltede som Voks for Herrens Ansigt, for hele Jordens Herres Ansigt.
The hills melted like wax 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 heavens declare his righteousness, 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 serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all you 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 your judgments, O LORD.
9 Thi du, Herre! er den Højeste over al Jorden, du er saare ophøjet over alle Guder.
For you, LORD, are high above all the earth: you 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.
You that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserves the souls of his saints; 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, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Glæder eder, I retfærdige i Herren, og priser hans hellige Ihukommelse!
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
