Psalms 84
1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!
To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. How lovely are thy habitations, O Yahweh of hosts!
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.
My soul, longeth—yea even languisheth—for the courts of Yahweh, —My heart and my flesh, shout aloud for a Living GOD.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath 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.
Even the sparrow, hath found a home, And, the swallow, a nest for herself, where she hath laid her young, Thine altars, O Yahweh of hosts, My king and my God!
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. (Selah)
How happy are they who abide in thy house, —Still are they praising thee. (Selah)
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways [to Zion].
How happy the men whose strength is in thee, Festive processions are in their heart.
6 Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.
Passing through the balsam-vale, A place of fountains, they make it, Yea, with blessings, is it covered by the early rain.
7 They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
They go from strength to strength, Each one appeareth before God in Zion.
8 O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
O Yahweh, God of hosts, hear thou my prayer, —Give hear, thou God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.
Our Shield, behold thou, O God, And look upon the face of thine Anointed One.
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 better is a day in thy courts, than a thousand, I choose rather to stand at the threshold in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of lawlessness.
11 For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
For, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God, —Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.
12 O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!
