2 Af Længsel efter HERRENs Forgårde vansmægtede min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!
My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in 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!
Yea, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will praise thee evermore. (Pause)

9 Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Åsyn!
Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of thine 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 one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
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 loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
12 Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler på dig!
O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in thee.
