Psalms 24

1 A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.

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

2 He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.

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

3 Who shall go up to 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 is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, 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 shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

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

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Pause)

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

7 Lift up your gates, you princes, and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

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 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 gates, you princes; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

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 hosts, he is this king of glory.

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