Psalms 24

1 A psalm of David. The earth is the Lord's, and everything that is in it belongs to him. The world is his, and everyone who lives there.

En Psalme af David. Herrens er Jorden og dens Fylde, Jorderige og de, der bo derpaa.

2 For he is the one who laid its foundations on the seas, setting it in place on the waters.

Thi han grundfæstede den paa Havene og gjorde den fast over Strømmene.

3 Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?

Hvo skal gaa op paa Herrens Bjerg? hvo skal staa paa hans hellige Sted?

4 Those who have clean hands and pure minds, who don't worship idols, and who don't lie under oath.

Den, som har uskyldige Hænder og er ren af Hjertet; den, som ikke har sat sin Hu til Løgn og ej svoret svigeligt.

5 They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.

Han skal annamme Velsignelse fra Herren og Retfærdighed fra sin Frelses Gud.

6 These are the kind of people who may go to the Lord and worship before you, God of Jacob. (Selah)

Dette er den Slægt, som spørger efter ham, de, som søge dit Ansigt, Jakobs Børn. (Sela)

7 Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!

I Porte, opløfter eders Hoveder, ja, opløfter eden, I evige Døre, at Ærens Konge kan drage ind!

8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and powerful, mighty in battle.

Hvo er denne Ærens Konge? Herren, stærk og mægtig, Herren, mægtig i Strid.

9 Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!

I Porte, opløfter eders Hoveder, ja opløfter eder, I evige Døre, at Ærens Konge kan drage ind!

10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord Almighty, he is the King of glory! (Selah)

Hvo er han, den Ærens Konge? Herren Zebaoth, han er Ærens Konge. (Sela)
