Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all 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 waters.

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

3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may 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 does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.

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

5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.

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

6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob.

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

7 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!

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

8 Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

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

9 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!

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

10 Who is He, this King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts— He is the King of Glory.

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