Psalms 84
1 The salm of the sones of Chore. Lord of vertues, thi tabernaclis ben greetli loued;
In finem, pro torcularibus filiis Core. Psalmus. [Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum!
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.
Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini; cor meum et caro mea exsultaverunt in Deum vivum.
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.
Etenim passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos: altaria tua, Domine virtutum, rex meus, et Deus meus.
4 Lord, blessid ben thei that dwellen in thin hous; thei schulen preise thee in to the worldis of worldis.
Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine; in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te.
5 Blessid is the man, whos help is of thee; he hath disposid stiyngis in his herte,
Beatus vir cujus est auxilium abs te: ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,
6 in the valei of teeris, in the place which he hath set.
in valle lacrimarum, in loco quem posuit.
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.
Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator; ibunt de virtute in virtutem: videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.
8 Lord God of vertues, here thou my preier; God of Jacob, perseyue thou with eeris.
Domine Deus virtutum, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe, Deus Jacob.
9 God, oure defender, biholde thou; and biholde in to the face of thi crist.
Protector noster, aspice, Deus, et respice in faciem christi tui.
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.
Quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia; elegi abjectus esse in domo Dei mei magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum.
11 For God loueth merci and treuthe; the Lord schal yyue grace and glorie.
Quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus: gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus.
12 He schal not depriue hem fro goodis, that gon in innocence; Lord of vertues, blessid is the man, that hopith in thee.
Non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia: Domine virtutum, beatus homo qui sperat in te.]
