Psalms 24

1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,

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

2 because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.

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

3 Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?

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

4 [Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].

Den, som har uskyldige Hænder og er ren af Hjertet; den, som ikke har sat sin Hu til Løgn og ej svoret svigeligt.

5 (They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).

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

6 They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.

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

7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

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

8 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!

Hvo er denne Ærens Konge? Herren, stærk og mægtig, Herren, mægtig i Strid.

9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

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

10 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!

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