Psalms 84
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Sinova Korahovih. Kako su mili stanovi tvoji, Jahve nad Vojskama!
2 My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Duša mi gine i čezne za dvorima Jahvinim. Srce moje i moje tijelo kliču Bogu živomu.
3 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.
I vrabac sebi log nalazi, i lastavica gnjezdašce gdje će položiti mlade svoje:
4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
a ja žrtvenike tvoje, Jahve nad Vojskama, Kralju moj i Bože moj! Blaženi koji prebivaju u Domu tvome slaveć' te bez prestanka!
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
Blažen komu je pomoć u tebi dok se sprema na svete putove!
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
Prolaze li suhom dolinom, u izvor je vode promeću i prva je kiša u blagoslov odijeva.
7 They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
Snaga im raste od časa do časa: dok ne ugledaju Boga na Sionu.
8 O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, čuj molitvu moju, poslušaj, Bože Jakovljev!
9 Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
Pogledaj, štite naš, Bože, pogledaj lice pomazanika svoga!
10 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.
Zaista, jedan je dan u dvorima tvojim bolji od tisuću drugih. Volim biti na pragu Doma Boga svoga nego boraviti u šatorima grešnika.
11 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.
Jahve, Bog, sunce je i štit: on daje milost i slavu. Ne uskraćuje Jahve dobara onima koji idu u nedužnosti.
12 O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
Jahve nad Vojskama, blago onom tko se u te uzda.
