Psalms 84
1 Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
För sångmästaren, till Gittít; av Koras söner; en psalm. Huru ljuvliga äro icke dina boningar, HERRE Sebaot!
2 I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.
Min själ längtar och trängtar efter HERRENS gårdar, min själ och min kropp jubla mot levande Gud.
3 Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.
Ty sparven har funnit ett hus och svalan ett bo åt sig, där hon kan lägga sina ungar: dina altaren, HERRE Sebaot, min konung och min Gud.
4 (Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
Saliga äro de som bo i ditt hus; de lova dig beständigt. (Sela)
5 Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].
Saliga äro de människor som i dig hava sin starkhet, de vilkas håg står till dina vägar.
6 While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
När de vandra genom Tåredalen, göra de den rik på källor, och höstregnet höljer den med välsignelser.
7 [As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
De gå från kraft till kraft; så träda de fram inför Gud på Sion.
8 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
HERRE Gud Sebaot, hör min bön, lyssna, du Jakobs Gud. (Sela)
9 God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
Gud, vår sköld, ser härtill, och akta på din smordes ansikte.
10 [For me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
Ty en dag i dina gårdar är bättre än eljest tusen. Jag vill hellre vakta dörren i min Guds hus än dväljas i de ogudaktigas hyddor.
11 Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
Ty HERREN Gud är sol och sköld; HERREN giver nåd och ära; han vägrar icke dem något gott, som vandra i ostrafflighet.
12 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
HERRE Sebaot, salig är den människa som förtröstar på dig.
