Psalms 84
1 For the music director. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. On the gittith. How wonderful is the place where you live, Lord Almighty!
The salm of the sones of Chore. Lord of vertues, thi tabernaclis ben greetli loued;
2 I long, I ache, to be in the courts of the Lord. My mind and my body sing for joy to 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 Even a sparrow finds a home there, and a swallow builds a nest for herself where she can raise her chicks near to your altars, Lord Almighty, 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 How happy are those who live in your house—they are always praising you! (Selah)
Lord, blessid ben thei that dwellen in thin hous; thei schulen preise thee in to the worldis of worldis.
5 How happy are those whose strength is in you, those who are determined to make a pilgrimage.
Blessid is the man, whos help is of thee; he hath disposid stiyngis in his herte,
6 As they walk through the Valley of Tears it becomes a spring of water; autumn rains cover it with pools.
in the valei of teeris, in the place which he hath set.
7 They go from strength to strength, and each one will appear before God in Jerusalem.
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 Lord God Almighty, please hear my prayer; please listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)
Lord God of vertues, here thou my preier; God of Jacob, perseyue thou with eeris.
9 Please God, look at our defender, look at the face of your anointed one.
God, oure defender, biholde thou; and biholde in to the face of thi crist.
10 One day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else. I'd rather stand as a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live comfortably in the homes of the wicked.
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 the Lord God is our sun and shield, and he gives us grace and honor. The Lord doesn't hold back anything good from those who do right.
For God loueth merci and treuthe; the Lord schal yyue grace and glorie.
12 Lord Almighty, how happy are those who trust in you.
He schal not depriue hem fro goodis, that gon in innocence; Lord of vertues, blessid is the man, that hopith in thee.
