Salme 84

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

For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Armies!

2 Hvor elskelige er dine Boliger, Hærskarers HERRE!

My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. 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!

Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, 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!

Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. (Selah)

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

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

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

Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers 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.

LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.

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

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in 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 the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

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!

LORD of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
