Psalms 24

1 A psalm of David. The earth is Yahweh's, and its fullness, the world, and all who live in it.

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

2 For he has founded it upon the seas and established it on the rivers.

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

3 Who will ascend the mountain of Yahweh? Who will 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 a falsehood, and has not sworn an oath in order to deceive.

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 will receive a blessing from Yahweh and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, those 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, everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in!

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

8 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty; Yahweh, mighty in battle.

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

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may 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? Yahweh of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

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