Psalms 97
1 For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
HERREN har vist, han er Konge! Jorden juble, lad glædes de mange Strande!
2 Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
Skyer og Mulm er om ham, Retfærd og Ret er hans Trones Støtte;
3 Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
Ild farer frem foran ham og luer iblandt hans Fjender.
4 His lightnings appeared 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 the whole earth.
Bjergene smelted som Voks for HERREN, for hele Jordens Herre;
6 The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
Himlen forkyndte hans Retfærd, alle Folkeslag skued hans Herlighed.
7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship 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 rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord.
Zion hørte det og glædede sig, og Judas Døtre jublede over dine Domme, HERRE!
9 For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted 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 preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
I, som elsker HERREN, had det onde! Han vogter sine frommes Sjæle og frier dem af de gudløses Haand;
11 Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
over de retfærdige oprinder Lys og Glæde over de oprigtige af Hjertet.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
I retfærdige, glæd jer i HERREN, lovsyng hans hellige Navn!
