Psalmorum 84
1 Psalmus, in finem, Pro torcularibus filiis Core. Quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine virtutum:
Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for the sons of Core. How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of host!
2 concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini: Cor meum, et caro mea exultaverunt in Deum vivum.
My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.
3 Etenim passer invenit sibi domum: et turtur nidum, ubi ponat pullos suos. Altaria tua Domine virtutum: rex meus, et Deus meus.
For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
4 Beati, qui habitant in domo tua Domine: in saecula saeculorum laudabunt te.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever.
5 Beatus vir, cuius est auxilium abs te: ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,
Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps,
6 in valle lacrymarum in loco, quem posuit.
In the vale of tears, in the place which be hath set.
7 Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator, ibunt de virtute in virtutem: videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.
For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
8 Domine Deus virtutum exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe Deus Iacob.
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.
9 Protector noster aspice Deus: et respice in faciem Christi tui.
Behold, O God our protector: and look on the face of thy Christ.
10 Quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia. Elegi abiectus esse in domo Dei mei: magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum.
For better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
11 Quia misericordiam, et veritatem diligit Deus: gratiam, et gloriam dabit Dominus.
For God loveth mercy and truth: the Lord will give grace and glory.
12 Non privabit bonis eos, qui ambulant in innocentia: Domine virtutum, beatus homo, qui sperat in te.
He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
