< Psalms 84 >
1 To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. 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 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 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she layeth her young, 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 constantly 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, — they, in whose heart are the highways.
Blessid is the man, whos help is of thee; he hath disposid stiyngis in his herte,
6 Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a well-spring; 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: [each one] will appear 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 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 stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than 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 Elohim is a sun and 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 Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that confideth in thee!
He schal not depriue hem fro goodis, that gon in innocence; Lord of vertues, blessid is the man, that hopith in thee.
