< Salme 97 >
1 HERREN har vist, han er Konge! Jorden juble, lad glædes de mange Strande!
Jehovah reigns! Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Skyer og Mulm er om ham, Retfærd og Ret er hans Trones Støtte;
Clouds and darkness are round about him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ild farer frem foran ham og luer iblandt hans Fjender.
A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries round about.
4 Hans Lyn lyste op paa Jorderig, Jorden saa det og skjalv;
His lightnings lightened the world. The earth saw, and trembled.
5 Bjergene smelted som Voks for HERREN, for hele Jordens Herre;
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Himlen forkyndte hans Retfærd, alle Folkeslag skued hans Herlighed.
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Til Skamme blev alle, som dyrkede Billeder, de, som var stolte af deres Afguder; alle Guder bøjed sig for ham.
Let all those be put to shame who serve graven images, who boast themselves of idols. Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
8 Zion hørte det og glædede sig, og Judas Døtre jublede over dine Domme, HERRE!
Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9 Thi du, o HERRE, er den Højeste over al Jorden, højt ophøjet over alle Guder!
For thou, Jehovah, are most high above all the earth. Thou are exalted far above all gods.
10 I, som elsker HERREN, had det onde! Han vogter sine frommes Sjæle og frier dem af de gudløses Haand;
O ye who love Jehovah, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his sanctified. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 over de retfærdige oprinder Lys og Glæde over de oprigtige af Hjertet.
Light is sown for the righteous man, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 I retfærdige, glæd jer i HERREN, lovsyng hans hellige Navn!
Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous, and give thanks to the memory of his holiness.
