Psalmorum 84
1 Psalmus, in finem, Pro torcularibus filiis Core. 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 exultaverunt 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, 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 saecula saeculorum laudabunt te.
Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. (Selah)
5 Beatus vir, cuius 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 lacrymarum 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 Iacob.
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 abiectus 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.
