Psalmorum 84
1 Psalmus, in finem, Pro torcularibus filiis Core. Quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine virtutum:
“To the chief musician upon Gittith, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” How lovely are thy dwelling-places, O Lord of hosts!
2 concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini: Cor meum, et caro mea exultaverunt in Deum vivum.
My soul desired, yea, it also longed for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh shout with 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.
Even as the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: —[have I found] thy 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 who dwell in thy house: they will be continually praising thee. (Selah)
5 Beatus vir, cuius est auxilium abs te: ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,
Happy is the man whose strong confidence is in thee, [all] whose heart reflecteth on the paths [of righteousness].
6 in valle lacrymarum in loco, quem posuit.
Passing through the valley of weeping, they will change it into a spring: also the early rain covereth it with blessings.
7 Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator, ibunt de virtute in virtutem: videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.
They go from strength to strength, each 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.
[Thou, ] our shield, behold, O God, and look upon the face of thy 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 better is a day in thy courts than a thousand [elsewhere]: I would rather choose to wait 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 a sun and shield is the Lord God; grace and glory will the Lord give; he will not withhold any good from those that walk with integrity.
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.
