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!
For the chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is the place where you live, 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.
I long for the courts of Yahweh, my desire for it has made me exhausted. My heart and all of my being call 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.
Even the sparrow has found her a house and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young near your altars, Yahweh of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will euer praise thee. (Selah)
Blessed are they who live in your house; they praise you continually. (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 you, in whose heart are the highways up to Zion.
6 They going through the vale of Baca, make welles therein: the raine also couereth the pooles.
Passing through the Valley of Tears, they find springs of water to drink. The early rains cover it with blessings.
7 They goe from strength to strength, till euery one appeare before God in Zion.
They go from strength to strength; every one of them appears before God in Zion.
8 O Lord God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iaakob. (Selah)
Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; God of Jacob, listen to what I am saying! (Selah)
9 Beholde, O God, our shielde, and looke vpon the face of thine Anointed.
God, watch over our shield; show concern for 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 one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to live within the tents of the wicked.
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 Yahweh God is our sun and shield; Yahweh will give grace and glory; he does not withhold any good thing from those who walk in integrity.
12 O Lord of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Yahweh of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
