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!
Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
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.
Hvor elskelige er dine Boliger, Hærskarers HERRE!
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.
Af Længsel efter HERRENS Forgaarde vansmægted min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!
4 Happy are they who dwell in thy house: they will be continually praising thee. (Selah)
Ja, Spurven fandt sig et Hjem og Svalen en Rede, hvor den har sine Unger — dine Altre, Hærskarers HERRE, min Konge og Gud!
5 Happy is the man whose strong confidence is in thee, [all] whose heart reflecteth on the paths [of righteousness].
Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)
6 Passing through the valley of weeping, they will change it into a spring: also the early rain covereth it with blessings.
Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, naar hans Hu staar til Højtidsrejser!
7 They go from strength to strength, each of them appeareth before God in Zion.
Naar de gaar gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
Fra Kraft til Kraft gaar de frem, de stedes for Gud paa Zion.
9 [Thou, ] our shield, behold, O God, and look upon the face of thy anointed.
Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! (Sela)
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.
Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Aasyn!
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.
Thi bedre een Dag i din Forgaard end tusinde ellers, hellere ligge ved min Guds Hus's Tærskel end dvæle i Gudløsheds Telte.
12 O Lord of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in thee.
Thi Gud HERREN er Sol og Skjold, HERREN giver Naade og Ære; dem, der vandrer i Uskyld, nægter han intet godt. Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler paa dig!
