Psalms 84

1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!

εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε ψαλμός ὡς ἀγαπητὰ τὰ σκηνώματά σου κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων

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,

ἐπιποθεῖ καὶ ἐκλείπει ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὰς αὐλὰς τοῦ κυρίου ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου ἠγαλλιάσαντο ἐπὶ θεὸν ζῶντα

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.

καὶ γὰρ στρουθίον εὗρεν ἑαυτῷ οἰκίαν καὶ τρυγὼν νοσσιὰν ἑαυτῇ οὗ θήσει τὰ νοσσία αὐτῆς τὰ θυσιαστήριά σου κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων ὁ βασιλεύς μου καὶ ὁ θεός μου

4 O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. (Selah)

μακάριοι οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων αἰνέσουσίν σε διάψαλμα

5 O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.

μακάριος ἀνήρ οὗ ἐστιν ἡ ἀντίλημψις αὐτοῦ παρὰ σοῦ κύριε ἀναβάσεις ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ διέθετο

6 Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.

ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τοῦ κλαυθμῶνος εἰς τόπον ὃν ἔθετο καὶ γὰρ εὐλογίας δώσει ὁ νομοθετῶν

7 They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.

πορεύσονται ἐκ δυνάμεως εἰς δύναμιν ὀφθήσεται ὁ θεὸς τῶν θεῶν ἐν Σιων

8 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου ἐνώτισαι ὁ θεὸς Ιακωβ διάψαλμα

9 Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,

ὑπερασπιστὰ ἡμῶν ἰδέ ὁ θεός καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σου

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.

ὅτι κρείσσων ἡμέρα μία ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς σου ὑπὲρ χιλιάδας ἐξελεξάμην παραρριπτεῖσθαι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ μᾶλλον ἢ οἰκεῖν ἐν σκηνώμασιν ἁμαρτωλῶν

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.

ὅτι ἔλεον καὶ ἀλήθειαν ἀγαπᾷ κύριος ὁ θεός χάριν καὶ δόξαν δώσει κύριος οὐ στερήσει τὰ ἀγαθὰ τοὺς πορευομένους ἐν ἀκακίᾳ

12 Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.

κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἐλπίζων ἐπὶ σέ
