Psalms 84

1 Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for the sons of Core. How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of host!

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O YHWH of hosts!

2 My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of YHWH: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living El.

3 For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O YHWH of hosts, my King, and my Elohim.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)

5 Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps,

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

6 In the vale of tears, in the place which be hath set.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

7 For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before Elohim.

8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.

O YHWH Elohim of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O Elohim of Jacob. (Selah)

9 Behold, O God our protector: and look on the face of thy Christ.

Behold, O Elohim our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 For better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Elohim, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For God loveth mercy and truth: the Lord will give grace and glory.

For YHWH Elohim is a sun and shield: YHWH will give favour and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

O YHWH of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
