Salme 97

1 HERREN har vist, han er Konge! Jorden juble, lad glædes de mange Strande!

The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

2 Skyer og Mulm er om ham, Retfærd og Ret er hans Trones Støtte;

Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

3 Ild farer frem foran ham og luer iblandt hans Fjender.

Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

4 Hans Lyn lyste op paa Jorderig, Jorden saa det og skjalv;

His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

5 Bjergene smelted som Voks for HERREN, for hele Jordens Herre;

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

6 Himlen forkyndte hans Retfærd, alle Folkeslag skued hans Herlighed.

The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

7 Til Skamme blev alle, som dyrkede Billeder, de, som var stolte af deres Afguder; alle Guder bøjed sig for ham.

All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

8 Zion hørte det og glædede sig, og Judas Døtre jublede over dine Domme, HERRE!

Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

9 Thi du, o HERRE, er den Højeste over al Jorden, højt ophøjet over alle Guder!

For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You 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;

Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 over de retfærdige oprinder Lys og Glæde over de oprigtige af Hjertet.

Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

12 I retfærdige, glæd jer i HERREN, lovsyng hans hellige Navn!

Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
