¹How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies!

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

²My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

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

³Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.

⁹Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.

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

¹⁰For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

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

¹¹For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

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

¹²Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

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