Psaltaren 84
1 En Psalm Korah barnas, på Gittith, till att föresjunga. Huru lustige äro dina boningar, Herre Zebaoth!
Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
2 Min själ längtar och trängtar efter Herrans gårdar. Min kropp och själ fröjda sig uti lefvandes Gudi.
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.
3 Ty foglen hafver funnit ett hus, och svalan sitt bo, der de sina ungar lägga; nämliga ditt altare, Herre Zebaoth, min Konung och min Gud.
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.
4 Salige äro de som i dino huse bo, de lofva dig till evig tid. (Sela)
(Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
5 Salige äro de menniskor, som dig för sin starkhet hålla, och af hjertat efter dig vandra;
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].
6 De der gå genom jämmerdalen, och göra der källor; och lärarena varda med mycken välsignelse prydde.
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.
7 De vinna den ena segren efter den andra, att man se må, att den rätte Guden är i Zion.
[As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
8 Herre Gud Zebaoth, hör min bön; akta härtill, Jacobs Gud. (Sela)
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!
9 Gud, vår sköld, skåda dock; se uppå din smordas rike.
God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
10 Ty en dag uti dina gårdar är bättre, än eljest tusende. Jag vill heldre vakta dörrena uti mins Guds huse, än länge bo uti de ogudaktigas hyddom.
[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].
11 Ty Herren Gud är sol och sköld. Herren gifver nåd och äro; dem frommom skall intet godt fattas.
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.
12 Herre Zebaoth, säll är den menniska, som sig förlåter uppå dig.
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
