< Psalmorum 84 >

1 in finem pro torcularibus filiis Core psalmus quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine virtutum
“For the leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” How lovely are thy 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 longeth, yea, fainteth, for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry aloud for 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
The very sparrow findeth an abode, And the swallow a nest, where they may lay their young, By thine altars, O LORD of hosts, My king and my God!
4 beati qui habitant in domo tua in saecula saeculorum laudabunt te diapsalma
Happy they who dwell in thy house, Who are continually praising thee! (Pause)
5 beatus vir cui est auxilium abs te ascensiones in corde suo disposuit
Happy the man whose glory is in thee, In whose heart are the ways [[to Jerusalem]]!
6 in valle lacrimarum in loco quem posuit
Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a fountain; and the early rain covereth it with blessings.
7 etenim benedictiones dabit legis dator ibunt de virtute in virtutem videbitur Deus deorum in Sion
They go on from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
8 Domine Deus virtutum exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe Deus Iacob diapsalma
Hear my prayer, O LORD, God of hosts! Give ear, O God of Jacob! (Pause)
9 protector noster aspice Deus et respice in faciem christi tui
Look down, O God! our shield, And behold the face of thine anointed!
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 a day spent in thy courts is better than a thousand: I would rather stand on the threshold of the house of my God, Than 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 doth he withhold From them that walk uprightly.
12 non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia Domine virtutum beatus vir qui sperat in te
O LORD of hosts! Happy the man who trusteth in thee!
