Salme 84
1 Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. How dear are your tents, O Lord of armies!
2 Hvor elskelige er dine Boliger, Hærskarers HERRE!
The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.
3 Af Længsel efter HERRENS Forgaarde vansmægted min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!
The little birds have places for themselves, where they may put their young, even your altars, O Lord of armies, my King and my God.
4 Ja, Spurven fandt sig et Hjem og Svalen en Rede, hvor den har sine Unger — dine Altre, Hærskarers HERRE, min Konge og Gud!
Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah)
5 Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)
Happy is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, naar hans Hu staar til Højtidsrejser!
Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.
7 Naar de gaar gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.
They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.
8 Fra Kraft til Kraft gaar de frem, de stedes for Gud paa Zion.
O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! (Sela)
O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.
10 Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Aasyn!
For a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.
11 Thi bedre een Dag i din Forgaard end tusinde ellers, hellere ligge ved min Guds Hus's Tærskel end dvæle i Gudløsheds Telte.
The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.
12 Thi Gud HERREN er Sol og Skjold, HERREN giver Naade og Ære; dem, der vandrer i Uskyld, nægter han intet godt. Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler paa dig!
O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.
