Salme 84
1 Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
“To the chief musician upon Gittith, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” How lovely are thy dwelling-places, O Lord of hosts!
2 Hvor elskelige er dine Boliger, Hærskarers HERRE!
My soul desired, yea, it also longed for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh shout with joy unto the living God.
3 Af Længsel efter HERRENS Forgaarde vansmægted min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!
Even as the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: —[have I found] thy 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!
Happy are they who dwell in thy house: they will be continually praising thee. (Selah)
5 Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)
Happy is the man whose strong confidence is in thee, [all] whose heart reflecteth on the paths [of righteousness].
6 Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, naar hans Hu staar til Højtidsrejser!
Passing through the valley of weeping, they will change it into a spring: also 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 of them appeareth before God in Zion.
8 Fra Kraft til Kraft gaar de frem, de stedes for Gud paa Zion.
O Lord 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)
[Thou, ] our shield, behold, O God, and look upon the face of thy anointed.
10 Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Aasyn!
For better is a day in thy courts than a thousand [elsewhere]: I would rather choose to wait at the threshold of the house of my God, than to 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 a sun and shield is the Lord God; grace and glory will the Lord give; he will not withhold any good from those that walk with integrity.
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, happy is the man that trusteth in thee.
