תְהִלִּים 84

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּ֑ית לִבְנֵי־קֹ֥רַח מִזְמֹֽור׃ מַה־יְּדִידֹ֥ות מִשְׁכְּנֹותֶ֗יךָ יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹֽות׃

For the chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is the place where you live, Yahweh of hosts!

2 נִכְסְפָ֬ה וְגַם־כָּלְתָ֨ה ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְחַצְרֹ֪ות יְה֫וָ֥ה לִבִּ֥י וּבְשָׂרִ֑י יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ אֶ֣ל אֵֽל־חָֽי׃

I long for the courts of Yahweh, my desire for it has made me exhausted. My heart and all of my being call out to the living God.

3 גַּם־צִפֹּ֨ור ׀ מָ֪צְאָה בַ֡יִת וּדְרֹ֤ור ׀ קֵ֥ן לָהּ֮ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֪תָה אֶפְרֹ֫חֶ֥יהָ אֶֽת־מִ֭זְבְּחֹותֶיךָ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹ֑ות מַ֝לְכִּ֗י וֵאלֹהָֽי׃

Even the sparrow has found her a house and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young near your altars, Yahweh of hosts, my King, and my God.

4 אַ֭שְׁרֵי יֹושְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ עֹ֝֗וד יְֽהַלְל֥וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

Blessed are they who live in your house; they praise you continually. (Selah)

5 אַשְׁרֵ֣י אָ֭דָם עֹֽוז־לֹ֥ו בָ֑ךְ מְ֝סִלֹּ֗ות בִּלְבָבָֽם׃

Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways up to Zion.

6 עֹבְרֵ֤י ׀ בְּעֵ֣מֶק הַ֭בָּכָא מַעְיָ֣ן יְשִׁית֑וּהוּ גַּם־בְּ֝רָכֹ֗ות יַעְטֶ֥ה מֹורֶֽה׃

Passing through the Valley of Tears, they find springs of water to drink. The early rains cover it with blessings.

7 יֵ֭לְכוּ מֵחַ֣יִל אֶל־חָ֑יִל יֵרָאֶ֖ה אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּצִיֹּֽון׃

They go from strength to strength; every one of them appears before God in Zion.

8 יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְ֭בָאֹות שִׁמְעָ֣ה תְפִלָּתִ֑י הַאֲזִ֨ינָה אֱלֹהֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃

Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; God of Jacob, listen to what I am saying! (Selah)

9 מָ֭גִנֵּנוּ רְאֵ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְ֝הַבֵּ֗ט פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃

God, watch over our shield; show concern for your anointed.

10 כִּ֤י טֹֽוב־יֹ֥ום בַּחֲצֵרֶ֗יךָ מֵ֫אָ֥לֶף בָּחַ֗רְתִּי הִ֭סְתֹּופֵף בְּבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהַ֑י מִ֝דּ֗וּר בְּאָהֳלֵי־רֶֽשַׁע׃

For one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to live within the tents of the wicked.

11 כִּ֤י שֶׁ֨מֶשׁ ׀ וּמָגֵן֮ יְהוָ֪ה אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים חֵ֣ן וְ֭כָבֹוד יִתֵּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה לֹ֥א יִמְנַע־טֹ֝֗וב לַֽהֹלְכִ֥ים בְּתָמִֽים׃

For Yahweh God is our sun and shield; Yahweh will give grace and glory; he does not withhold any good thing from those who walk in integrity.

12 יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֑ות אַֽשְׁרֵ֥י אָ֝דָ֗ם בֹּטֵ֥חַ בָּֽךְ׃

Yahweh of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
