Salme 84
1 (Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Hvor elskelig er dine boliger, Hærskares Herre!
For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
2 Af Længsel efter HERRENs Forgårde vansmægtede min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!
My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Ja, Spurven fandt sig et Hjem og Svalen en Rede, hvor den har sine Unger - dine Altre, Hærskarers HERRE, min Konge og Gud!
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
4 Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)
How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
5 Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, når hans Hu står til Højtidsrejser!
Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6 Når de går gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.
As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
7 Fra Kraft til Kraft går de frem, de stedes for Gud på Zion.
They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
8 Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! (Sela)
O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
9 Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Åsyn!
Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
10 Thi bedre een Dag i din Forgård end tusinde ellers, hellere ligge ved min Guds Hus's Tærskel end dvæle i Gudløsheds Telte.
For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 Thi Gud HERREN er Sol og Skjold, HERREN giver Nåde og Ære; dem, der vandrer i Uskyld, nægter han intet godt.
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
12 Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler på dig!
O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
