Psalms 24

1 A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.

(Af David. En salme.) HERRENs er Jorden og dens Fylde, Jorderig og de, som bor derpå;

2 He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.

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

3 Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?

Hvo kan gå op på HERRENs Bjerg, og hvo kan stå på hans hellige Sted?

4 He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

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 the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

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

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Pause)

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

7 Lift up your gates, ye princes, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

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 gates, ye princes; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall 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? The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.

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