< Psalmi 84 >
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Sinova Korahovih. Kako su mili stanovi tvoji, Jahve nad Vojskama!
For the leader. On the gittith. Of the Korahites, a psalm. How dearly loved is the place where you live, Lord of hosts!
2 Duša mi gine i čezne za dvorima Jahvinim. Srce moje i moje tijelo kliču Bogu živomu.
How I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord. Now heart and flesh cry for joy to the living God.
3 I vrabac sebi log nalazi, i lastavica gnjezdašce gdje će položiti mlade svoje:
Even the sparrow has found her a home and the swallow a nest, to lay her young, near your altar, 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!
Happy those who live in your house, praising you evermore. (Selah)
5 Blažen komu je pomoć u tebi dok se sprema na svete putove!
Happy those whose strength is in you, people with pilgrim hearts.
6 Prolaze li suhom dolinom, u izvor je vode promeću i prva je kiša u blagoslov odijeva.
As they pass through the valley of tears, they make it a place of fountains, clothed with the blessings of early rain.
7 Snaga im raste od časa do časa: dok ne ugledaju Boga na Sionu.
From rampart to rampart on they march, till at last God reveals himself in Zion.
8 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, čuj molitvu moju, poslušaj, Bože Jakovljev!
Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer, attend, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Pogledaj, štite naš, Bože, pogledaj lice pomazanika svoga!
Behold, O God, our defender, and look upon 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 a single day in your courts than a thousand in my own chambers: better stand at the door of the house of my God than live in the tents of ungodliness,
11 Jahve, Bog, sunce je i štit: on daje milost i slavu. Ne uskraćuje Jahve dobara onima koji idu u nedužnosti.
for the Lord is sun and shield, the Lord gives grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from the life that is blameless.
12 Jahve nad Vojskama, blago onom tko se u te uzda.
Lord of hosts, happy those whose trust is in you.
