Psalms 24

1 The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell therein.

En Psalme af David. Herrens er Jorden og dens Fylde, Jorderige og de, der bo derpaa.

2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

Thi han grundfæstede den paa Havene og gjorde den fast over Strømmene.

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?

Hvo skal gaa op paa Herrens Bjerg? hvo skal staa paa hans hellige Sted?

4 He who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

Den, som har uskyldige Hænder og er ren af Hjertet; den, som ikke har sat sin Hu til Løgn og ej svoret svigeligt.

5 He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Han skal annamme Velsignelse fra Herren og Retfærdighed fra sin Frelses Gud.

6 This is the generation of those who seek after him, who seek thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)

Dette er den Slægt, som spørger efter ham, de, som søge dit Ansigt, Jakobs Børn. (Sela)

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

I Porte, opløfter eders Hoveder, ja, opløfter eden, I evige Døre, at Ærens Konge kan drage ind!

8 Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

Hvo er denne Ærens Konge? Herren, stærk og mægtig, Herren, mægtig i Strid.

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates. Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

I Porte, opløfter eders Hoveder, ja opløfter eder, I evige Døre, at Ærens Konge kan drage ind!

10 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. (Selah)

Hvo er han, den Ærens Konge? Herren Zebaoth, han er Ærens Konge. (Sela)
