Psalms 24

1 [A Psalm by David.] The earth is the LORD's, and its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

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

2 For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

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

3 Who may ascend to the LORD's hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

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

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has 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, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

7 Lift up your heads, you gates. Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will 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, you gates; lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

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

10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts is the King of glory. (Selah)

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