Psalms 84

1 “To the chief musician upon Gittith, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” How lovely are thy dwelling-places, 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 desired, yea, it also longed for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh shout with 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 Even as the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: —[have I found] thy 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 who dwell in thy house: they will be continually praising thee. (Selah)

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

5 Happy is the man whose strong confidence is in thee, [all] whose heart reflecteth on the paths [of righteousness].

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

6 Passing through the valley of weeping, they will change it into a spring: also the early rain covereth 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, each 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 [Thou, ] our shield, behold, O God, and look upon the face of thy anointed.

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

10 For better is a day in thy courts than a thousand [elsewhere]: I would rather choose to wait 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 a sun and shield is the Lord God; grace and glory will the Lord give; he will not withhold any good from those that walk with integrity.

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.
