Psalms 84
1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!
To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. How lovely are thy habitations, O Yahweh of hosts!
2 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,
My soul, longeth—yea even languisheth—for the courts of Yahweh, —My heart and my flesh, shout aloud for a Living GOD.
3 (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.
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!
4 O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. (Selah)
How happy are they who abide in thy house, —Still are they praising thee. (Selah)
5 O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.
How happy the men whose strength is in thee, Festive processions are in their heart.
6 Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.
Passing through the balsam-vale, A place of fountains, they make it, Yea, with blessings, is it covered by the early rain.
7 They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
They go from strength to strength, Each one appeareth before God in Zion.
8 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
O Yahweh, God of hosts, hear thou my prayer, —Give hear, thou God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,
Our Shield, behold thou, O God, And look upon the face of thine Anointed One.
10 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.
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.
11 For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.
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.
12 Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.
O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!
