1 Til Korherren. Al-ha-gittit. Salme af Kora-Sønnerne (84:2) Hvor elskelig er dine boliger, Hærskares Herre!

1 For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.How lovely are Your dwelling places,O Lord of hosts!

2 (84:3) Af Længsel efter HERRENs Forgårde vansmægtede min Sjæl, nu jubler mit Hjerte og Kød for den levende Gud!

2 My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord;My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

3 (84:4) Ja, Spurven fandt sig et Hjem og Svalen en Rede, hvor den har sine Unger - dine Altre, Hærskarers HERRE, min Konge og Gud!

3 The bird also has found a house,And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,My King and my God.

4 (84:5) Salige de, der bor i dit Hus, end skal de love dig. - Sela.

4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house!They are ever praising You. Selah.

5 (84:6) Salig den, hvis Styrke er i dig, når hans Hu står til Højtidsrejser!

5 How blessed is the man whose strength is in You,In whose heart are the highways to Zion!

6 (84:7) Når de går gennem Bakadalen, gør de den til Kildevang, og Tidligregnen hyller den i Velsignelser.

6 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring;The early rain also covers it with blessings.

7 (84:8) Fra Kraft til Kraft går de frem, de stedes for Gud på Zion.

7 They go from strength to strength,Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

8 (84:9) Hør min Bøn, o HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, Lyt til, du Jakobs Gud! - Sela.

8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah.

9 (84:10) Gud, vort Skjold, se til og vend dit Blik til din Salvedes Åsyn!

9 Behold our shield, O God,And look upon the face of Your anointed.

10 (84:11) Thi bedre een Dag i din Forgård end tusinde ellers, hellere ligge ved min Guds Hus's Tærskel end dvæle i Gudløsheds Telte.

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my GodThan dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 (84:12) Thi Gud HERREN er Sol og Skjold, HERREN giver Nåde og Ære; dem, der vandrer i Uskyld, nægter han intet godt.

11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;The Lord gives grace and glory;No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

12 (84:13) Hærskarers HERRE, salig er den, der stoler på dig! 

12 O Lord of hosts,How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
