Salme 84

1 Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.

To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!

2 Hvor elskelige er dine Boliger, Hærskarers HERRE!

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for 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 hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she layeth her young, thine altars, O Jehovah 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 be constantly praising thee. (Selah)

5 Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, — they, in whose heart are the highways.

6 Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, naar hans Hu staar til Højtidsrejser!

Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a well-spring; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

7 Naar de gaar gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.

They go from strength to strength: [each one] will appear before God in Zion.

8 Fra Kraft til Kraft gaar de frem, de stedes for Gud paa Zion.

Jehovah, God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

9 Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! (Sela)

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Aasyn!

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

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 Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

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!

Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that confideth in thee!
