Psalms 84
1 The salm of the sones of Chore. Lord of vertues, thi tabernaclis ben greetli loued;
[For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] How lovely are your dwellings, YHWH of hosts.
2 my soule coueitith, and failith in to the porchis of the Lord. Myn herte and my fleische; ful out ioyeden in to quyk God.
My soul longs, yes, yearns for the courts of YHWH. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 For whi a sparewe fyndith an hous to it silf; and a turtle fyndith a neste to it silf, where it `schal kepe hise bryddis. Lord of vertues, thin auteris; my king, and my God.
Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, YHWH of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Lord, blessid ben thei that dwellen in thin hous; thei schulen preise thee in to the worldis of worldis.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are ever praising you. (Selah)
5 Blessid is the man, whos help is of thee; he hath disposid stiyngis in his herte,
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6 in the valei of teeris, in the place which he hath set.
Passing through the Valley of Baca, he makes it into a spring. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7 For the yyuer of the lawe schal yyue blessyng, thei schulen go fro vertu in to vertu; God of goddis schal be seyn in Sion.
They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.
8 Lord God of vertues, here thou my preier; God of Jacob, perseyue thou with eeris.
YHWH, the God of hosts, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 God, oure defender, biholde thou; and biholde in to the face of thi crist.
Look, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
10 For whi o dai in thin hallis is bettere; than a thousynde. I chees to be `an out cast in the hous of my God; more than to dwelle in the tabernaclis of synneris.
For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For God loueth merci and treuthe; the Lord schal yyue grace and glorie.
For YHWH God is a sun and a shield. YHWH will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 He schal not depriue hem fro goodis, that gon in innocence; Lord of vertues, blessid is the man, that hopith in thee.
YHWH of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
