Psalms 84
1 To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. How lovely are thy habitations, O Yahweh of hosts!
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Yhwh of Armies!
2 My soul, longeth—yea even languisheth—for the courts of Yahweh, —My heart and my flesh, shout aloud for a Living GOD.
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Yhwh: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow, hath found a home, And, the swallow, a nest for herself, where she hath laid her young, Thine altars, O Yahweh of hosts, My king and my God!
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Yhwh of Armies, my King, and my God.
4 How happy are they who abide in thy house, —Still are they praising thee. (Selah)
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)
5 How happy the men whose strength is in thee, Festive processions are in their heart.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Passing through the balsam-vale, A place of fountains, they make it, Yea, with blessings, is it covered by the early rain.
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, Each one appeareth before God in Zion.
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8 O Yahweh, God of hosts, hear thou my prayer, —Give hear, thou God of Jacob. (Selah)
O Yhwh God of Armies, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Our Shield, behold thou, O God, And look upon the face of thine Anointed One.
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 For better is a day in thy courts, than a thousand, I choose rather to stand at the threshold in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of lawlessness.
For a day in thy 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.
11 For, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God, —Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.
For Yhwh God is a sun and shield: Yhwh will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!
O Yhwh of Armies, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
