Salme 84
1 Til Sangmesteren; til Githith; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.
How yadid ·lovely· are your dwellings, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies]!
2 Hvor elskelige ere dine Boliger, Herre Zebaoth!
My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Adonai. My heart and my flesh cry out for the Elohim Chayim [Living God].
3 Min Sjæl begærer, ja længes efter Herrens Forgaarde; mit Hjerte og mit Kød raabe med Fryd til den levende Gud.
Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], my King, and my God.
4 Ja, Spurven har fundet et Hus og Svalen sin Rede, hvor den har lagt sine Unger: Dine Altre, Herre Zebaoth, min Konge og min Gud!
Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
5 Salige ere de, som bo i dit Hus, de skulle endnu love dig. (Sela)
Blessed are those whose strength is in you; who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6 Saligt er det Menneske, hvis Styrke er i dig, og i hvis Hjerte de rette Veje ere.
Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7 Naar de gaa igennem Morbærdalen, gøre de den til Kildevæld, ja, og en Regn med Velsignelser skal bedække dem.
They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
8 De gaa frem fra Kraft til Kraft; de ses for Gud paa Zion.
Adonai, Elohim Tzva'ot [Yahweh, God Commander of heaven’s armies], sh'ma ·hear obey·, my prayer. Give ear to me, God of Jacob [Supplanter]. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
9 Herre, Gud Zebaoth! hør min Bøn, Jakobs Gud! vend dit Øre til den. (Sela)
Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
10 Gud, vort Skjold! se til og sku din Salvedes Ansigt.
For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of ethical wickedness.
11 Thi een Dag i dine Forgaarde er bedre end tusinde; jeg udvælger hellere at ligge ved Dørtærskelen i min Guds Hus end at bo i de ugudeliges Telte.
For Adonai God is a sun and a shield. Adonai will give chen ·grace· and kavod ·weighty glory·. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 Thi Gud Herren er Sol og Skjold; Herren giver Naade og Ære, intet godt nægter han dem, som vandre i Oprigtighed. Herre Zebaoth! saligt er det Menneske, som forlader sig paa dig.
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], blessed is the man who trusts in you.
