Psalms 84

1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

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

2 My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.

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

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God —.

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.

4 Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. (Selah)

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

5 Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways.

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

6 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.

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

7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

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

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

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

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

10 For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand; I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

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.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD giveth grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.

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.

12 O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.

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