١ 1 مَا أَحْلَى مَسَاكِنَكَ يَارَبَّ الْجُنُودِ!

How yadid ·lovely· are your dwellings, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies]!

٢ 2 تَتُوقُ بَلْ تَحِنُّ نَفْسِي إِلَى دِيَارِ الرَّبِّ. قَلْبِي وَجِسْمِي يُرَنِّمَانِ بِفَرَحٍ لِلإِلَهِ الْحَيِّ.

My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Adonai. My heart and my flesh cry out for the Elohim Chayim [Living God].

٣ 3 الْعُصْفُورُ أَيْضاً وَجَدَ لَهُ وَكْراً، وَالْيَمَامَةُ عَثَرَتْ لِنَفْسِهَا عَلَى عُشٍّ تَضَعُ فِيهِ فِرَاخَهَا، بِجِوَارِ مَذَابِحِكَ يَارَبَّ الْجُنُودِ، يَامَلِكِي وَإِلَهِي.

Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], my King, and my God.

٤ 4 طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَسْكُنُونَ فِي بَيْتِكَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يُسَبِّحُونَكَ دَائِماً.

Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

٥ 5 طُوبَى لأُنَاسٍ أَنْتَ قُوَّتُهُمْ. الْمُتَلَهِّفُونَ لاتِّبَاعِ طُرُقِكَ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ المُقَدَّسِ.

Blessed are those whose strength is in you; who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

٦ 6 وَإِذْ يَعْبُرُونَ فِي وَادِي الْبَكَا الْجَافِّ، يَجْعَلُونَهُ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ، وَيَغْمُرُهُمُ الْمَطَرُ الْخَرِيفِيُّ بِالْبَرَكَاتِ.

Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

٧ 7 يَنْمُونَ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ إِلَى قُوَّةٍ، إِذْ يَمْثُلُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَمَامَ اللهِ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ.

They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].

٨ 8 يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ اسْمَعْ صَلاَتِي، وَأَصْغِ إِلَيَّ يَاإِلَهَ يَعْقُوبَ.

Adonai, Elohim Tzva'ot [Yahweh, God Commander of heaven’s armies], sh'ma ·hear obey·, my prayer. Give ear to me, God of Jacob [Supplanter]. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

٩ 9 يَااللهُ مِجَنَّنَا، انْظُرْ بِعَيْنِ الرَّحْمَةِ إِلَى مَنْ مَسَحْتَهُ مَلِكاً.

Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.

١٠ 10 إِنَّ يَوْماً وَاحِداً أَقْضِيهِ دَاخِلَ دِيَارِكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ خَارِجَهَا. اخْتَرْتُ أَنْ أَقِفَ عَلَى الْعَتَبَةِ فِي بَيْتِ إِلَهِي عَلَى السَّكَنِ فِي خِيَامِ الأَشْرَارِ.

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

١١ 11 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الإِلَهَ شَمْسٌ وَتُرْسٌ. الرَّبُّ يُعْطِي نِعْمَةً وَمَجْداً؛ لاَ يَمْنَعُ أَيَّ خَيْرٍ عَنِ السَّالِكِينَ بِالاسْتِقَامَةِ.

For Adonai God is a sun and a shield. Adonai will give chen ·grace· and kavod ·weighty glory·. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

١٢ 12 يَارَبَّ الْجُنُودِ، طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الْمُتَّكِلِ عَلَيْكَ.

Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], blessed is the man who trusts in you.
