Salme 84

1 Til Sangmesteren; til Githith; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.

For the chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is the place where you live, Yahweh of hosts!

2 Hvor elskelige ere dine Boliger, Herre Zebaoth!

I long for the courts of Yahweh, my desire for it has made me exhausted. My heart and all of my being call out to the living God.

3 Min Sjæl begærer, ja længes efter Herrens Forgaarde; mit Hjerte og mit Kød raabe med Fryd til den levende Gud.

Even the sparrow has found her a house and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young near your altars, Yahweh of hosts, 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 they who live in your house; they praise you continually. (Selah)

5 Salige ere de, som bo i dit Hus, de skulle endnu love dig. (Sela)

Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways up to Zion.

6 Saligt er det Menneske, hvis Styrke er i dig, og i hvis Hjerte de rette Veje ere.

Passing through the Valley of Tears, they find springs of water to drink. The early rains cover 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; every one of them appears before God in Zion.

8 De gaa frem fra Kraft til Kraft; de ses for Gud paa Zion.

Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; God of Jacob, listen to what I am saying! (Selah)

9 Herre, Gud Zebaoth! hør min Bøn, Jakobs Gud! vend dit Øre til den. (Sela)

God, watch over our shield; show concern for your anointed.

10 Gud, vort Skjold! se til og sku din Salvedes Ansigt.

For one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to live within the tents of the wicked.

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 Yahweh God is our sun and shield; Yahweh will give grace and glory; he does not withhold any good thing from those who walk in integrity.

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.

Yahweh of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
