Salme 97

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

YHWH has reigned, The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.

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

Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

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

Fire goes before Him, And burns around His adversaries.

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

His lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has seen, and is pained.

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

Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, Before the Lord of all the earth.

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

The heavens declared 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.

All servants of a carved image are ashamed, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.

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

Zion has heard and rejoices, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.

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

For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, You have been exalted greatly over all gods.

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

You who love YHWH, hate evil, He is keeping 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 [is] sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright of heart.

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

Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
