Salme 24

1 (Af David. En salme.) HERRENs er Jorden og dens Fylde, Jorderig og de, som bor derpå;

A Psalm. Of David. The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

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

For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

3 Hvo kan gå op på HERRENs Bjerg, og hvo kan stå på hans hellige Sted?

Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

4 Den med skyldfri Hænder og Hjertet rent, som ikke sætter sin Hu til Løgn og ikke sværger falsk;

He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

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

He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Så er den Slægt, som spørger efter ham, som søger dit Åsyn, Jakobs Gud! (Sela)

This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal 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 the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

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

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

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

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
