Psalms 84
1 “To the chief musician upon Gittith, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” How lovely are thy dwelling-places, O Lord of hosts!
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Tijesci”. Sinova Korahovih. Kako su mili stanovi tvoji, Jahve nad Vojskama!
2 My soul desired, yea, it also longed for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh shout with joy unto the living God.
Duša mi gine i čezne za dvorima Jahvinim. Srce moje i moje tijelo kliču Bogu živomu.
3 Even as the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: —[have I found] thy 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 who dwell in thy house: they will be continually 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 strong confidence is in thee, [all] whose heart reflecteth on the paths [of righteousness].
Blažen komu je pomoć u tebi dok se sprema na svete putove!
6 Passing through the valley of weeping, they will change it into a spring: also the early rain covereth 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, each 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 [Thou, ] our shield, behold, O God, and look upon the face of thy anointed.
Pogledaj, štite naš, Bože, pogledaj lice pomazanika svoga!
10 For better is a day in thy courts than a thousand [elsewhere]: I would rather choose to wait 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 a sun and shield is the Lord God; grace and glory will the Lord give; he will not withhold any good from those that walk with integrity.
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.
