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 Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. How lovely are thy habitations, O Yahweh 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, longeth—yea even languisheth—for the courts of Yahweh, —My heart and my flesh, shout aloud for a 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 the sparrow, hath found a home, And, the swallow, a nest for herself, where she hath laid her young, Thine altars, O Yahweh of hosts, My king and my God!
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will euer praise thee. (Selah)
How happy are they who abide in thy house, —Still are they praising thee. (Selah)
5 Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy wayes.
How happy the men whose strength is in thee, Festive processions are in their heart.
6 They going through the vale of Baca, make welles therein: the raine also couereth the pooles.
Passing through the balsam-vale, A place of fountains, they make it, Yea, with blessings, is it covered by the early rain.
7 They goe from strength to strength, till euery one appeare before God in Zion.
They go from strength to strength, Each one appeareth before God in Zion.
8 O Lord God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iaakob. (Selah)
O Yahweh, God of hosts, hear thou my prayer, —Give hear, thou God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Beholde, O God, our shielde, and looke vpon the face of thine Anointed.
Our Shield, behold thou, O God, And look upon the face of thine Anointed One.
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 better is a day in thy courts, than a thousand, I choose rather to stand at the threshold in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of lawlessness.
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, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God, —Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.
12 O Lord of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!
