Psalms 24

1 For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.

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 he has prepared it upon the rivers.

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

3 Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?

Hvo kan gaa op paa HERRENS Bjerg, og hvo kan staa paa hans hellige Sted?

4 The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

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

5 He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Savior.

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

6 This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

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

7 Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall 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 who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle.

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

9 Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

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 virtue. He himself is the King of Glory.

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