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.

Een psalm van David. Aan Jahweh behoort de aarde, met wat ze bevat, De wereld en die er op wonen;

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

Want Hij heeft ze op de zeeën gegrond, En geplant op de stromen.

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

Wie mag de berg van Jahweh bestijgen, Wie zijn heilige stede betreden?

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.

Die rein is van handen, en zuiver van hart; In wiens ziel geen bedrog is, en die geen valse eden zweert.

5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

Hij zal zegen van Jahweh ontvangen, En loon van den God van zijn heil:

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

Die behoort tot hen, die Jahweh vereren, En het aangezicht zoeken van Jakobs God.

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

Poorten, heft uw kroonlijsten op; Eeuwige posten, rekt u omhoog: De Koning der glorie gaat binnen!

8 Who is this king of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

Wie is de Koning der glorie? Jahweh, krachtig en sterk, Jahweh, de held in de strijd!

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

Poorten, heft uw kroonlijsten op; Eeuwige posten, rekt u omhoog: De Koning der glorie gaat binnen!

10 Who is this king of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.

Wie is de Koning der glorie? Jahweh der heirscharen Is de Koning der glorie!
