Psalms 24

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

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

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

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

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

Hvo kan gaa op paa HERRENS Bjerg, og hvo kan 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 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, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

han faar Velsignelse fra HERREN, 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)

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

7 Lift up your heads, you gates. Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will 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, you gates; lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will 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 is the King of glory. (Selah)

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