Psalms 84
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
To him that excelleth upon Gittith. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. O Lord of hostes, howe amiable are thy Tabernacles!
2 My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
My soule longeth, yea, and fainteth for the courtes of the Lord: for mine heart and my flesh reioyce in the liuing God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
Yea, the sparrowe hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest for her, where she may lay her yong: euen by thine altars, O Lord of hostes, my King and my God.
4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will euer praise thee. (Selah)
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy wayes.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
They going through the vale of Baca, make welles therein: the raine also couereth the pooles.
7 They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
They goe from strength to strength, till euery one appeare before God in Zion.
8 O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
O Lord God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iaakob. (Selah)
9 Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
Beholde, O God, our shielde, and looke vpon the face of thine Anointed.
10 For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For a day in thy courtes is better then a thousand other where: I had rather be a doore keeper in the House of my God, then to dwell in the Tabernacles of wickednesse.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
For the Lord God is the sunne and shielde vnto vs: the Lord will giue grace and glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walke vprightly.
12 O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
O Lord of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
