< Psalms 84 >
1 How amiable are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
In finem, pro torcularibus filiis Core. Psalmus. Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum!
2 My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cries out for the living God.
Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini; cor meum et caro mea exsultaverunt in Deum vivum.
3 Yes, the sparrow has found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
Etenim passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos: altaria tua, Domine virtutum, rex meus, et Deus meus.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. (Selah)
Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine; in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways of them.
Beatus vir cujus est auxilium abs te: ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also fills the pools.
in valle lacrimarum, in loco quem posuit.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appears before God.
Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator; ibunt de virtute in virtutem: videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
Domine Deus virtutum, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe, Deus Jacob.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look on the face of your anointed.
Protector noster, aspice, Deus, et respice in faciem christi tui.
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia; elegi abjectus esse in domo Dei mei magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus: gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
Non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia: Domine virtutum, beatus homo qui sperat in te.
