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!
(Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Hvor elskelig er dine boliger, Hærskares Herre!
2 My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Af Længsel efter HERRENs Forgårde vansmægtede min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!
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.
Ja, Spurven fandt sig et Hjem og Svalen en Rede, hvor den har sine Unger - dine Altre, Hærskarers HERRE, min Konge og Gud!
4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, når hans Hu står til Højtidsrejser!
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
Når de går gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.
7 They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
Fra Kraft til Kraft går de frem, de stedes for Gud på Zion.
8 O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! (Sela)
9 Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Åsyn!
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.
Thi bedre een Dag i din Forgård end tusinde ellers, hellere ligge ved min Guds Hus's Tærskel end dvæle i Gudløsheds Telte.
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.
Thi Gud HERREN er Sol og Skjold, HERREN giver Nåde og Ære; dem, der vandrer i Uskyld, nægter han intet godt.
12 O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler på dig!
