< 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!
Načelniku godbe pri Giteji, sinovom Koretovim psalm. Kako ljuba so prebivališča tvoja, o Gospod vojnih krdél!
2 My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Duša moja hrepeni in koprni, priti v veže Gospodove; srce moje in meso moje vpijeta v hrepenenji po živem Bogu mogočnem.
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.
Celo vrabec najde dom in lastovka si gnezdo, da v njem izvali mladiče svoje – o oltarji tvoji, o Gospod vojnih krdél, kralj moj in Bog moj!
4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
Blagor jim, ki so prebivali v hiši tvoji, ki te zdaj še hvalijo!
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
Blagor človeku, kateremu je dano v tebi stopati na steze tvoje po srca svojega želji.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
Kateri gredé po murbini dolini, imajo njega za studenec, katere tudi pokriva dež blagoslova,
7 They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
Kateri hodijo od zbora do zbora, ki se prikaže pred Bogom na Sijonu.
8 O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
Gospod, Bog vojnih krdél, čuj molitev mojo; poslušaj, o Bog Jakobov!
9 Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
Ščit naš, poglej, o Bog; in glej maziljenca svojega obličje!
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.
Ker boljši en dan v vežah tvojih, nego tisoč drugjé; raji hočem stopati čez prag v hiši Boga mojega, nego prebivati v krivice šatorih.
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.
Ker solnce in ščit je Gospod, Bog; milost in slavo daje Gospod; dobrega ne krati njim, ki hodijo v poštenosti.
12 O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
O Gospod vojnih krdél, blagor človeku, kateri ima zaupanje v tebe!
