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 yadid ·lovely· are your dwellings, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies]!
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, and even faints for the courts of Adonai. My heart and my flesh cry out for the Elohim Chayim [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.
Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], 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 your house. They are always praising you. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
5 Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy wayes.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you; who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
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. Yes, the autumn 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. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
8 O Lord God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iaakob. (Selah)
Adonai, Elohim Tzva'ot [Yahweh, God Commander of heaven’s armies], sh'ma ·hear obey·, my prayer. Give ear to me, God of Jacob [Supplanter]. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
9 Beholde, O God, our shielde, and looke vpon the face of thine Anointed.
Behold, God our shield, look at 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 better than a thousand. I would 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 Adonai God is a sun and a shield. Adonai will give chen ·grace· and kavod ·weighty glory·. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 O Lord of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], blessed is the man who trusts in you.
