Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

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

2 For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

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

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? and who shall stand in His holy place?

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

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.

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

5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

6 Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)

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

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

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

8 'Who is the King of glory?' 'The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.'

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

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

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

10 'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' (Selah)

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