Psalms 24

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

Af David. En Salme. HERRENS er Jorden og dens Fylde, Jorderig og de, som bor derpaa;

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

thi han har grundlagt den paa Have, grundfæstet den paa Strømme.

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

Hvo kan gaa op paa HERRENS Bjerg, og hvo kan 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 med skyldfri Hænder og Hjertet rent, som ikke sætter sin Hu til Løgn og ikke sværger falsk;

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

han faar Velsignelse fra HERREN, Retfærdighed fra sin Frelses Gud.

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

Saa er den Slægt, som spørger efter ham, som søger dit Aasyn, Jakobs Gud! (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.

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

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

Hvo er den Ærens Konge? HERREN, stærk og vældig, HERREN, vældig i Krig!

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

Løft eders Hoveder, I Porte, løft jer, I ældgamle 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, Hærskarers Herre, han er Ærens Konge! (Sela)
