< Psalms 84 >
1 How lovely are your 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 longs, yea, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cries out for 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 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.
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 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. (Selah)
Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will euer praise thee. (Selah)
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways of them.
Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy wayes.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also fills the pools.
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 in Zion appears before God.
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 your anointed.
Beholde, O God, our shielde, and looke vpon the face of thine Anointed.
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.
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 shield: the LORD will give 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, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
O Lord of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
