< Psalms 84 >
1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Sinova Korahovih. Kako su mili stanovi tvoji, Jahve nad Vojskama!
2 My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.
Duša mi gine i čezne za dvorima Jahvinim. Srce moje i moje tijelo kliču Bogu živomu.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God —.
I vrabac sebi log nalazi, i lastavica gnjezdašce gdje će položiti mlade svoje:
4 Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. (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 Thee; in whose heart are the highways.
Blažen komu je pomoć u tebi dok se sprema na svete putove!
6 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.
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 appeareth 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. (Selah)
Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, čuj molitvu moju, poslušaj, Bože Jakovljev!
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed.
Pogledaj, štite naš, Bože, pogledaj lice pomazanika svoga!
10 For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand; I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
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 giveth grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
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, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.
Jahve nad Vojskama, blago onom tko se u te uzda.
