Salme 24

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

A psalm of David. The earth is the Lord's, and everything that is in it belongs to him. The world is his, and everyone who lives there.

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

For he is the one who laid its foundations on the seas, setting it in place on the waters.

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

Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?

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

Those who have clean hands and pure minds, who don't worship idols, and who don't lie under oath.

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

They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.

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

These are the kind of people who may go to the Lord and worship before you, God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!

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

Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and powerful, mighty in battle.

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

Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!

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

Who is this King of glory? The Lord Almighty, he is the King of glory! (Selah)
