< 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!
The salm of the sones of Chore. Lord of vertues, thi tabernaclis ben greetli loued;
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto 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 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.
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 they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. (Selah)
Lord, blessid ben thei that dwellen in thin hous; thei schulen preise thee in to the worldis of worldis.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways [to Zion].
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; Yea, the early rain covereth 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 appeareth 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 O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
Lord God of vertues, here thou my preier; God of Jacob, perseyue thou with eeris.
9 Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.
God, oure defender, biholde thou; and biholde in to the face of thi crist.
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 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 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 God loueth merci and treuthe; the Lord schal yyue grace and glorie.
12 O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
He schal not depriue hem fro goodis, that gon in innocence; Lord of vertues, blessid is the man, that hopith in thee.
