Psalmorum 84
1 Psalmus, in finem, Pro torcularibus filiis Core. Quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine virtutum:
To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah 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 hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud 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 a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood, ) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.
4 Beati, qui habitant in domo tua Domine: in saecula saeculorum laudabunt te.
O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. (Selah)
5 Beatus vir, cuius est auxilium abs te: ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,
O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.
6 in valle lacrymarum in loco, quem posuit.
Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.
7 Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator, ibunt de virtute in virtutem: videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.
They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
8 Domine Deus virtutum exaudi orationem meam: auribus percipe Deus Iacob.
O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Protector noster aspice Deus: et respice in faciem Christi tui.
Our shield, see, O God, And behold 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 good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.
11 Quia misericordiam, et veritatem diligit Deus: gratiam, et gloriam dabit Dominus.
For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.
12 Non privabit bonis eos, qui ambulant in innocentia: Domine virtutum, beatus homo, qui sperat in te.
Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.
