Psalms 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

HERREN har vist, han er Konge! Jorden juble, lad glædes de mange Strande!

2 Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

Skyer og Mulm er om ham, Retfærd og Ret er hans Trones Støtte;

3 Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

Ild farer frem foran ham, og luer iblandt hans Fjender.

4 His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

Hans Lyn lyste op på Jorderig, Jorden så det og skjalv;

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

Bjergene smelted som Voks for HERREN, for hele Jordens Herre;

6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

Himlen forkyndte hans Retfærd, alle Folkeslag skued hans Herlighed.

7 All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

Til Skamme blev alle, som dyrkede Billeder, de, som var stolte af deres Afguder; alle Guder bøjed sig for ham.

8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

Zion hørte det og glædede sig, og Judas Døtre jublede over dine Domme, HERRE!

9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

Thi du, o HERRE, er den Højeste over al Jorden, højt ophøjet over alle Guder!

10 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

I, som elsker HERREN, hade det onde! Han vogter sine frommes Sjæle og frier dem af de gudløses Hånd;

11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

over de retfærdige oprinder Lys og Glæde over de oprigtige af Hjertet.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.

I retfærdige, glæd jer i HERREN, lovsyng hans hellige Navn!
