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 all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

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

For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

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

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? 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 clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And favor 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 race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. (Pause)

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

Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may 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, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may enter in!

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

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
