Psalmorum 84
1 in finem pro torcularibus filiis Core psalmus quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine virtutum
For the leader. On the gittith. Of the Korahites, a psalm. How dearly loved is the place where you live, Lord of hosts!
2 concupiscit et defecit anima mea in atria Domini cor meum et caro mea exultavit in Deum vivum
How I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord. Now heart and flesh cry for joy to 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
Even the sparrow has found her a home and the swallow a nest, to lay her young, near your altar, Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
4 beati qui habitant in domo tua in saecula saeculorum laudabunt te diapsalma
Happy those who live in your house, praising you evermore. (Selah)
5 beatus vir cui est auxilium abs te ascensiones in corde suo disposuit
Happy those whose strength is in you, people with pilgrim hearts.
6 in valle lacrimarum in loco quem posuit
As they pass through the valley of tears, they make it a place of fountains, clothed with the blessings of early rain.
7 etenim benedictiones dabit legis dator ibunt de virtute in virtutem videbitur Deus deorum in Sion
From rampart to rampart on they march, till at last God reveals himself in Zion.
8 Domine Deus virtutum exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe Deus Iacob diapsalma
Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer, attend, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 protector noster aspice Deus et respice in faciem christi tui
Behold, O God, our defender, and look upon your 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 better a single day in your courts than a thousand in my own chambers: better stand at the door of the house of my God than live in the tents of ungodliness,
11 quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus
for the Lord is sun and shield, the Lord gives grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from the life that is blameless.
12 non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia Domine virtutum beatus vir qui sperat in te
Lord of hosts, happy those whose trust is in you.
