Salme 97
1 HERREN har vist, han er Konge! Jorden juble, lad glædes de mange Strande!
Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.
2 Skyer og Mulm er om ham, Retfærd og Ret er hans Trones Støtte;
Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of his throne.
3 Ild farer frem foran ham, og luer iblandt hans Fjender.
Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.
4 Hans Lyn lyste op på Jorderig, Jorden så det og skjalv;
His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;
5 Bjergene smelted som Voks for HERREN, for hele Jordens Herre;
The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, At the presence, of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Himlen forkyndte hans Retfærd, alle Folkeslag skued hans Herlighed.
The heavens, have 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.
Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.
8 Zion hørte det og glædede sig, og Judas Døtre jublede over dine Domme, HERRE!
Zion, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:
9 Thi du, o HERRE, er den Højeste over al Jorden, højt ophøjet over alle Guder!
For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above all gods.
10 I, som elsker HERREN, hade det onde! Han vogter sine frommes Sjæle og frier dem af de gudløses Hånd;
Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, —He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.
11 over de retfærdige oprinder Lys og Glæde over de oprigtige af Hjertet.
Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:
12 I retfærdige, glæd jer i HERREN, lovsyng hans hellige Navn!
Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.
