Psalms 84
1 For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine presses. How amiable are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
(Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Hvor elskelig er dine boliger, Hærskares Herre!
2 My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living god.
Af Længsel efter HERRENs Forgårde vansmægtede min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!
3 Yes, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] 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 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will praise you evermore. (Pause)
Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)
5 Blessed is the man whose help is of you, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up
Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, når hans Hu står til Højtidsrejser!
6 the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings.
Når de går gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.
7 They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
Fra Kraft til Kraft går de frem, de stedes for Gud på Zion.
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: listen, O God of Jacob. (Pause)
Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! (Sela)
9 Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of your anointed.
Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Åsyn!
10 For one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
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 loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
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, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler på dig!
