Psalms 84

1 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Armies!

The salm of the sones of Chore. Lord of vertues, thi tabernaclis ben greetli loued;

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

my soule coueitith, and failith in to the porchis of the Lord. Myn herte and my fleische; ful out ioyeden in to quyk God.

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

For whi a sparewe fyndith an hous to it silf; and a turtle fyndith a neste to it silf, where it `schal kepe hise bryddis. Lord of vertues, thin auteris; my king, and my God.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. (Selah)

Lord, blessid ben thei that dwellen in thin hous; thei schulen preise thee in to the worldis of worldis.

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

Blessid is the man, whos help is of thee; he hath disposid stiyngis in his herte,

6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

in the valei of teeris, in the place which he hath set.

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

For the yyuer of the lawe schal yyue blessyng, thei schulen go fro vertu in to vertu; God of goddis schal be seyn in Sion.

8 LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)

Lord God of vertues, here thou my preier; God of Jacob, perseyue thou with eeris.

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

God, oure defender, biholde thou; and biholde in to the face of thi crist.

10 For 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.

For whi o dai in thin hallis is bettere; than a thousynde. I chees to be `an out cast in the hous of my God; more than to dwelle in the tabernaclis of synneris.

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

For God loueth merci and treuthe; the Lord schal yyue grace and glorie.

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

He schal not depriue hem fro goodis, that gon in innocence; Lord of vertues, blessid is the man, that hopith in thee.
