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!
TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. How beloved Your dwelling places, YHWH 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 desired, indeed, it has also been consumed, For the courts of YHWH, My heart and my flesh cry aloud 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.
Even a sparrow has found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she has placed her brood—Your altars, O YHWH of Hosts, My king and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will euer praise thee. (Selah)
O the blessedness of those inhabiting Your house, Yet they praise You. (Selah)
5 Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy wayes.
O the blessedness of a man whose strength is in You, Highways [are] in their heart.
6 They going through the vale of Baca, make welles therein: the raine also couereth the pooles.
Those passing through a valley of weeping make it a spring, The early rain covers it with pools.
7 They goe from strength to strength, till euery one appeare before God in Zion.
They go from strength to strength, He appears to God in Zion.
8 O Lord God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iaakob. (Selah)
O YHWH, 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.
Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Your 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 Your courts [is] good, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in 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 YHWH God [is] a sun and a shield, YHWH gives grace and glory. He does not withhold good To those walking in uprightness.
12 O Lord of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
YHWH of Hosts! O the blessedness of a man trusting in You.
