Psalms 84

1 To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. How dear are your tents, O Lord of armies!

Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Sinova Korahovih. Kako su mili stanovi tvoji, Jahve nad Vojskama!

2 The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.

Duša mi gine i čezne za dvorima Jahvinim. Srce moje i moje tijelo kliču Bogu živomu.

3 The little birds have places for themselves, where they may put their young, even your altars, O Lord of armies, my King and my God.

I vrabac sebi log nalazi, i lastavica gnjezdašce gdje će položiti mlade svoje:

4 Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah)

a ja žrtvenike tvoje, Jahve nad Vojskama, Kralju moj i Bože moj! Blaženi koji prebivaju u Domu tvome slaveć' te bez prestanka!

5 Happy is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

Blažen komu je pomoć u tebi dok se sprema na svete putove!

6 Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.

Prolaze li suhom dolinom, u izvor je vode promeću i prva je kiša u blagoslov odijeva.

7 They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.

Snaga im raste od časa do časa: dok ne ugledaju Boga na Sionu.

8 O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, čuj molitvu moju, poslušaj, Bože Jakovljev!

9 O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.

Pogledaj, štite naš, Bože, pogledaj lice pomazanika svoga!

10 For a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.

Zaista, jedan je dan u dvorima tvojim bolji od tisuću drugih. Volim biti na pragu Doma Boga svoga nego boraviti u šatorima grešnika.

11 The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.

Jahve, Bog, sunce je i štit: on daje milost i slavu. Ne uskraćuje Jahve dobara onima koji idu u nedužnosti.

12 O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.

Jahve nad Vojskama, blago onom tko se u te uzda.
