< Psalmorum 84 >
1 in finem pro torcularibus filiis Core psalmus 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 defecit anima mea in atria Domini cor meum et caro mea exultavit 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 sibi 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 in saecula saeculorum laudabunt te diapsalma
(Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
5 beatus vir cui 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 lacrimarum 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 benedictiones dabit legis dator 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 diapsalma
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 milia 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 vir qui sperat in te
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
