Salme 84
1 Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine-presses. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 Hvor elskelige er dine Boliger, Hærskarers HERRE!
My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living god.
3 Af Længsel efter HERRENS Forgaarde vansmægted min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!
Yea, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O Lord of hosts, 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!
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will praise thee evermore. (Pause)
5 Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)
Blessed is the man whose help is of thee, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up
6 Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, naar hans Hu staar til Højtidsrejser!
the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings.
7 Naar de gaar gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.
They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
8 Fra Kraft til Kraft gaar de frem, de stedes for Gud paa Zion.
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: hearken, O God of Jacob. (Pause)
9 Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! (Sela)
Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Aasyn!
For one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
11 Thi bedre een Dag i din Forgaard end tusinde ellers, hellere ligge ved min Guds Hus's Tærskel end dvæle i Gudløsheds Telte.
For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
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 hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in thee.
