Psalms 24

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

Af David. En Salme. HERRENS er Jorden og dens Fylde, Jorderig og de, som bor derpaa;

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

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

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

Hvo kan gaa op paa HERRENS Bjerg, og hvo kan 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 med skyldfri Hænder og Hjertet rent, som ikke sætter sin Hu til Løgn og ikke sværger falsk;

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

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

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

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

Løft eders Hoveder, I Porte, løft jer, I ældgamle 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 den Ærens Konge? HERREN, stærk og vældig, HERREN, vældig i Krig!

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

Løft eders Hoveder, I Porte, løft jer, I ældgamle 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, Hærskarers Herre, han er Ærens Konge! (Sela)
