Salme 84

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

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 er dine Boliger, Hærskarers HERRE!

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 Af Længsel efter HERRENS Forgaarde vansmægted min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for 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 fandt sig et Hjem og Svalen en Rede, hvor den har sine Unger — dine Altre, Hærskarers HERRE, min Konge og Gud!

Blessed are they who live in your house; they praise you continually. (Selah)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 bedre een Dag i din Forgaard end tusinde ellers, hellere ligge ved min Guds Hus's Tærskel end dvæle i Gudløsheds 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; dem, der vandrer i Uskyld, nægter han intet godt. Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler paa dig!

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