Psalmen 24
1 Een psalm van David. Aan Jahweh behoort de aarde, met wat ze bevat, De wereld en die er op wonen;
The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
2 Want Hij heeft ze op de zeeën gegrond, En geplant op de stromen.
because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
3 Wie mag de berg van Jahweh bestijgen, Wie zijn heilige stede betreden?
Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
4 Die rein is van handen, en zuiver van hart; In wiens ziel geen bedrog is, en die geen valse eden zweert.
[Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].
5 Hij zal zegen van Jahweh ontvangen, En loon van den God van zijn heil:
(They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).
6 Die behoort tot hen, die Jahweh vereren, En het aangezicht zoeken van Jakobs God.
They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
7 Poorten, heft uw kroonlijsten op; Eeuwige posten, rekt u omhoog: De Koning der glorie gaat binnen!
Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
8 Wie is de Koning der glorie? Jahweh, krachtig en sterk, Jahweh, de held in de strijd!
[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!
9 Poorten, heft uw kroonlijsten op; Eeuwige posten, rekt u omhoog: De Koning der glorie gaat binnen!
Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
10 Wie is de Koning der glorie? Jahweh der heirscharen Is de Koning der glorie!
[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
