Psalms 97
1 For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.
HERREN har vist, han er Konge! Jorden juble, lad glædes de mange Strande!
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
Skyer og Mulm er om ham, Retfærd og Ret er hans Trones Støtte;
3 A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.
Ild farer frem foran ham og luer iblandt hans Fjender.
4 His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.
Hans Lyn lyste op paa Jorderig, Jorden saa det og skjalv;
5 The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
Bjergene smelted som Voks for HERREN, for hele Jordens Herre;
6 The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.
Himlen forkyndte hans Retfærd, alle Folkeslag skued hans Herlighed.
7 Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
Til Skamme blev alle, som dyrkede Billeder, de, som var stolte af deres Afguder; alle Guder bøjed sig for ham.
8 Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
Zion hørte det og glædede sig, og Judas Døtre jublede over dine Domme, HERRE!
9 For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
Thi du, o HERRE, er den Højeste over al Jorden, højt ophøjet over alle Guder!
10 You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.
I, som elsker HERREN, had det onde! Han vogter sine frommes Sjæle og frier dem af de gudløses Haand;
11 Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.
over de retfærdige oprinder Lys og Glæde over de oprigtige af Hjertet.
12 Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
I retfærdige, glæd jer i HERREN, lovsyng hans hellige Navn!
