Salme 24

1 Af David. En Salme. HERRENS er Jorden og dens Fylde, Jorderig og de, som bor derpaa;

Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 thi han har grundlagt den paa Have, grundfæstet den paa Strømme.

For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.

3 Hvo kan gaa op paa HERRENS Bjerg, og hvo kan staa paa hans hellige Sted?

Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Den med skyldfri Hænder og Hjertet rent, som ikke sætter sin Hu til Løgn og ikke sværger falsk;

He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

5 han faar Velsignelse fra HERREN, Retfærdighed fra sin Frelses Gud.

He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Saa er den Slægt, som spørger efter ham, som søger dit Aasyn, Jakobs Gud! (Sela)

This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah)

7 Løft eders Hoveder, I Porte, løft jer, I ældgamle Døre, at Ærens Konge kan drage ind!

Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

8 Hvo er den Ærens Konge? HERREN, stærk og vældig, HERREN, vældig i Krig!

Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

9 Løft eders Hoveder, I Porte, løft jer, I ældgamle Døre, at Ærens Konge kan drage ind!

Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

10 Hvo er han, den Ærens Konge? HERREN, Hærskarers Herre, han er Ærens Konge! (Sela)

Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
