Psalms 24

1 “Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;

Psalam. Davidov. Jahvina je zemlja i sve na njoj, svijet i svi koji na njemu žive.

2 For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.

On ga na morima utemelji i na rijekama učvrsti.

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in his holy place?

Tko će uzići na Goru Jahvinu, tko će stajati na svetom mjestu njegovu?

4 He that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:

Onaj u koga su ruke čiste i srce nedužno: duša mu se ne predaje ispraznosti, i ne kune se varavo.

5 He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness from the God of his salvation.

On blagoslov prima od Jahve i nagradu od Boga, Spasitelja svoga.

6 This is the generation of those that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)

Takav je naraštaj onih koji traže njega, koji traže lice Boga Jakovljeva.

7 Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

“Podignite, vrata, nadvratnike svoje, dižite se, dveri vječne, da uniđe Kralj slave!”

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

“Tko je taj Kralj slave?” “Jahve silan i junačan, Jahve silan u boju!”

9 Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

“Podignite, vrata, nadvratnike svoje dižite se, dveri vječne, da uniđe Kralj slave!”

10 Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

“Tko je taj Kralj slave?” “Jahve nad Vojskama - on je Kralj slave!”
