Salme 84

1 (Til Sangmesteren. Al-haggittit. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Hvor elskelig er dine boliger, Hærskares Herre!

Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm to the sons of Korah. How beloved are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

2 Af Længsel efter HERRENs Forgårde vansmægtede min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!

My soul longs and faints for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God.

3 Ja, Spurven fandt sig et Hjem og Svalen en Rede, hvor den har sine Unger - dine Altre, Hærskarers HERRE, min Konge og Gud!

For even the sparrow has found a home for himself, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: your altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

4 Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. (Sela)

Blessed are those who dwell in your house, O Lord. They will praise you from age to age.

6 Når de går gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.

from the valley of tears, from the place which he has determined.

7 Fra Kraft til Kraft går de frem, de stedes for Gud på Zion.

For even the lawgiver will provide a blessing; they will go from virtue to virtue. The God of gods will be seen in Zion.

8 Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! (Sela)

O Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Pay attention, O God of Jacob.

9 Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Åsyn!

O God, gaze upon our protector, and look upon the face of your Christ.

10 Thi bedre een Dag i din Forgård end tusinde ellers, hellere ligge ved min Guds Hus's Tærskel end dvæle i Gudløsheds Telte.

For one day in your courts is better than thousands elsewhere. I have chosen to be lowly in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.

11 Thi Gud HERREN er Sol og Skjold, HERREN giver Nåde og Ære; dem, der vandrer i Uskyld, nægter han intet godt.

For God loves mercy and truth. The Lord will give grace and glory.

12 Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler på dig!

He will not withhold good things from those who walk in innocence. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who hopes in you.
