Psalmorum 84
1 Psalmus, in finem, Pro torcularibus filiis Core. Quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine virtutum:
Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
2 concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini: Cor meum, et caro mea exultaverunt in Deum vivum.
I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.
3 Etenim passer invenit sibi domum: et turtur nidum, ubi ponat pullos suos. Altaria tua Domine virtutum: rex meus, et Deus meus.
Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.
4 Beati, qui habitant in domo tua Domine: in saecula saeculorum laudabunt te.
(Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
5 Beatus vir, cuius est auxilium abs te: ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,
Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].
6 in valle lacrymarum in loco, quem posuit.
While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
7 Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator, ibunt de virtute in virtutem: videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.
[As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
8 Domine Deus virtutum exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe Deus Iacob.
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
9 Protector noster aspice Deus: et respice in faciem Christi tui.
God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
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 me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
11 Quia misericordiam, et veritatem diligit Deus: gratiam, et gloriam dabit Dominus.
Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
12 Non privabit bonis eos, qui ambulant in innocentia: Domine virtutum, beatus homo, qui sperat in te.
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
