< Psalmi 84 >
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Sinova Korahovih. Kako su mili stanovi tvoji, Jahve nad Vojskama!
For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
2 Duša mi gine i čezne za dvorima Jahvinim. Srce moje i moje tijelo kliču Bogu živomu.
My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 I vrabac sebi log nalazi, i lastavica gnjezdašce gdje će položiti mlade svoje:
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
4 a ja žrtvenike tvoje, Jahve nad Vojskama, Kralju moj i Bože moj! Blaženi koji prebivaju u Domu tvome slaveć' te bez prestanka!
How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
5 Blažen komu je pomoć u tebi dok se sprema na svete putove!
Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6 Prolaze li suhom dolinom, u izvor je vode promeću i prva je kiša u blagoslov odijeva.
As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
7 Snaga im raste od časa do časa: dok ne ugledaju Boga na Sionu.
They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
8 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, čuj molitvu moju, poslušaj, Bože Jakovljev!
O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
9 Pogledaj, štite naš, Bože, pogledaj lice pomazanika svoga!
Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
10 Zaista, jedan je dan u dvorima tvojim bolji od tisuću drugih. Volim biti na pragu Doma Boga svoga nego boraviti u šatorima grešnika.
For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 Jahve, Bog, sunce je i štit: on daje milost i slavu. Ne uskraćuje Jahve dobara onima koji idu u nedužnosti.
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
12 Jahve nad Vojskama, blago onom tko se u te uzda.
O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
