Salme 97

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

The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.

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

Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.

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

There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.

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

His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.

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

The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

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

The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.

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

Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.

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

Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.

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

For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.

10 I, som elsker HERREN, had det onde! Han vogter sine frommes Sjæle og frier dem af de gudløses Haand;

Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.

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

Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.

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

Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.
