Psalmorum 84
1 In finem, pro torcularibus filiis Core. Psalmus. Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum!
For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2 Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini; cor meum et caro mea exsultaverunt in Deum vivum.
My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.
3 Etenim passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos: altaria tua, Domine virtutum, rex meus, et Deus meus.
Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God —.
4 Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine; in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te.
Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. (Selah)
5 Beatus vir cujus est auxilium abs te: ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,
Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways.
6 in valle lacrimarum, in loco quem posuit.
Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.
7 Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator; ibunt de virtute in virtutem: videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.
They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
8 Domine Deus virtutum, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe, Deus Jacob.
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Protector noster, aspice, Deus, et respice in faciem christi tui.
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed.
10 Quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia; elegi abjectus esse in domo Dei mei magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum.
For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand; I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 Quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus: gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus.
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD giveth grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 Non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia: Domine virtutum, beatus homo qui sperat in te.
O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.
