Salme 97
1 HERREN har vist, han er Konge! Jorden juble, lad glædes de mange Strande!
For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
2 Skyer og Mulm er om ham, Retfærd og Ret er hans Trones Støtte;
Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Ild farer frem foran ham, og luer iblandt hans Fjender.
Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
4 Hans Lyn lyste op på Jorderig, Jorden så det og skjalv;
His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Bjergene smelted som Voks for HERREN, for hele Jordens Herre;
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Himlen forkyndte hans Retfærd, alle Folkeslag skued hans Herlighed.
The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
7 Til Skamme blev alle, som dyrkede Billeder, de, som var stolte af deres Afguder; alle Guder bøjed sig for ham.
Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all ye his angels.
8 Zion hørte det og glædede sig, og Judas Døtre jublede over dine Domme, HERRE!
Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9 Thi du, o HERRE, er den Højeste over al Jorden, højt ophøjet over alle Guder!
For thou art Lord most high over all the earth; thou art greatly exalted above all gods.
10 I, som elsker HERREN, hade det onde! Han vogter sine frommes Sjæle og frier dem af de gudløses Hånd;
Ye that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
11 over de retfærdige oprinder Lys og Glæde over de oprigtige af Hjertet.
Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 I retfærdige, glæd jer i HERREN, lovsyng hans hellige Navn!
Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
