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!
in finem pro torcularibus filiis Core psalmus quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine virtutum
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.
concupiscit et defecit anima mea in atria Domini cor meum et caro mea exultavit in Deum vivum
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.
etenim passer invenit sibi domum et turtur nidum sibi ubi ponat pullos suos altaria tua Domine virtutum rex meus et Deus meus
4 How happy are those who live in your house—they are always praising you! (Selah)
beati qui habitant in domo tua in saecula saeculorum laudabunt te diapsalma
5 How happy are those whose strength is in you, those who are determined to make a pilgrimage.
beatus vir cui est auxilium abs te ascensiones in corde suo disposuit
6 As they walk through the Valley of Tears it becomes a spring of water; autumn rains cover it with pools.
in valle lacrimarum in loco quem posuit
7 They go from strength to strength, and each one will appear before God in Jerusalem.
etenim benedictiones dabit legis dator ibunt de virtute in virtutem videbitur Deus deorum in Sion
8 Lord God Almighty, please hear my prayer; please listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)
Domine Deus virtutum exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe Deus Iacob diapsalma
9 Please God, look at our defender, look at the face of your anointed one.
protector noster aspice Deus et respice in faciem christi tui
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.
quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super milia elegi abiectus esse in domo Dei mei magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum
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.
quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus
12 Lord Almighty, how happy are those who trust in you.
non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia Domine virtutum beatus vir qui sperat in te
