Psalms 84

1 To him that excelleth upon Gittith. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. O Lord of hostes, howe amiable are thy Tabernacles!

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!

2 My soule longeth, yea, and fainteth for the courtes of the Lord: for mine heart and my flesh reioyce in the liuing God.

My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of Jehovah. My heart and my flesh cry out to the living God.

3 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.

Yea, the sparrow has found her a house, and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will euer praise thee. (Selah)

Blessed are those who dwell in thy house. They will still be praising thee. (Selah)

5 Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy wayes.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

6 They going through the vale of Baca, make welles therein: the raine also couereth the pooles.

Passing through the valley of weeping they make it a place of springs. Yea, the early rain covers it with blessings.

7 They goe from strength to strength, till euery one appeare before God in Zion.

They go from strength to strength; each one of them appears before God in Zion.

8 O Lord God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iaakob. (Selah)

O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer. Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

9 Beholde, O God, our shielde, and looke vpon the face of thine Anointed.

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

10 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.

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

11 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.

For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield. Jehovah will give grace and glory. He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

O Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in thee.
