< Psalmorum 84 >
1 in finem pro torcularibus filiis Core psalmus quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine virtutum
Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm to the sons of Korah. How beloved are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 concupiscit et defecit anima mea in atria Domini cor meum et caro mea exultavit in Deum vivum
My soul longs and faints for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God.
3 etenim passer invenit sibi domum et turtur nidum sibi ubi ponat pullos suos altaria tua Domine virtutum rex meus et Deus meus
For even the sparrow has found a home for himself, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: your altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
4 beati qui habitant in domo tua in saecula saeculorum laudabunt te diapsalma
Blessed are those who dwell in your house, O Lord. They will praise you from age to age.
5 beatus vir cui est auxilium abs te ascensiones in corde suo disposuit
Blessed is the man whose help is from you. In his heart, he is disposed to ascend
6 in valle lacrimarum in loco quem posuit
from the valley of tears, from the place which he has determined.
7 etenim benedictiones dabit legis dator ibunt de virtute in virtutem videbitur Deus deorum in Sion
For even the lawgiver will provide a blessing; they will go from virtue to virtue. The God of gods will be seen in Zion.
8 Domine Deus virtutum exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe Deus Iacob diapsalma
O Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Pay attention, O God of Jacob.
9 protector noster aspice Deus et respice in faciem christi tui
O God, gaze upon our protector, and look upon the face of your Christ.
10 quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super milia elegi abiectus esse in domo Dei mei magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum
For one day in your courts is better than thousands elsewhere. I have chosen to be lowly 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 loves mercy and truth. The Lord will give grace and glory.
12 non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia Domine virtutum beatus vir qui sperat in te
He will not withhold good things from those who walk in innocence. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who hopes in you.
