Salme 84
1 (Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Hvor elskelig er dine boliger, Hærskares Herre!
For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies!
2 Af Længsel efter HERRENs Forgårde vansmægtede min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!
My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. 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!
Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.
4 Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)
Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. (Selah)
5 Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, når hans Hu står til Højtidsrejser!
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6 Når de går gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.
Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7 Fra Kraft til Kraft går de frem, de stedes for Gud på Zion.
They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
8 Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! (Sela)
Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Åsyn!
Behold, God our shield, look at 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 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 Gud HERREN er Sol og Skjold, HERREN giver Nåde og Ære; dem, der vandrer i Uskyld, nægter han intet godt.
For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler på dig!
Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
