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!
To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!
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 desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto 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!
(Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood, ) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.
4 How happy are they who abide in thy house, —Still are they praising thee. (Selah)
O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. (Selah)
5 How happy the men whose strength is in thee, Festive processions are in their heart.
O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.
6 Passing through the balsam-vale, A place of fountains, they make it, Yea, with blessings, is it covered by the early rain.
Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.
7 They go from strength to strength, Each one appeareth before God in Zion.
They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
8 O Yahweh, God of hosts, hear thou my prayer, —Give hear, thou God of Jacob. (Selah)
O Jehovah, God of Hosts, 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.
Our shield, see, O God, And behold 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 good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in 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 a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.
12 O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!
Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.
