Salme 84
1 (Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Hvor elskelig er dine boliger, Hærskares Herre!
To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. How dear are your tents, O Lord of armies!
2 Af Længsel efter HERRENs Forgårde vansmægtede min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!
The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying 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!
The little birds have places for themselves, where they may put their young, even your altars, O Lord of armies, my King and my God.
4 Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)
Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah)
5 Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, når hans Hu står til Højtidsrejser!
Happy is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 Når de går gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.
Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.
7 Fra Kraft til Kraft går de frem, de stedes for Gud på Zion.
They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.
8 Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! (Sela)
O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Åsyn!
O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.
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 a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.
11 Thi Gud HERREN er Sol og Skjold, HERREN giver Nåde og Ære; dem, der vandrer i Uskyld, nægter han intet godt.
The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.
12 Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler på dig!
O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.
