< Psalms 84 >
1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Yhwh of Armies!
2 My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of Jehovah. My heart and my flesh cry out to the living God.
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Yhwh: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow has found her a house, and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God.
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Yhwh of Armies, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in thy house. They will still be praising thee. (Selah)
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Passing through the valley of weeping they make it a place of springs. Yea, the early rain covers it with blessings.
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength; each one of them appears before God in Zion.
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8 O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer. Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
O Yhwh God of Armies, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield. Jehovah will give grace and glory. He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.
For Yhwh God is a sun and shield: Yhwh will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 O Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in thee.
O Yhwh of Armies, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
