Psalms 84
1 For the leader. On the gittith. Of the Korahites, a psalm. How dearly loved is the place where you live, Lord of hosts!
In finem, pro torcularibus filiis Core. Psalmus. Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum!
2 How I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord. Now heart and flesh cry for joy to the living God.
Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini; cor meum et caro mea exsultaverunt in Deum vivum.
3 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.
Etenim passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos: altaria tua, Domine virtutum, rex meus, et Deus meus.
4 Happy those who live in your house, praising you evermore. (Selah)
Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine; in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te.
5 Happy those whose strength is in you, people with pilgrim hearts.
Beatus vir cujus est auxilium abs te: ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,
6 As they pass through the valley of tears, they make it a place of fountains, clothed with the blessings of early rain.
in valle lacrimarum, in loco quem posuit.
7 From rampart to rampart on they march, till at last God reveals himself in Zion.
Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator; ibunt de virtute in virtutem: videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.
8 Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer, attend, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
Domine Deus virtutum, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe, Deus Jacob.
9 Behold, O God, our defender, and look upon your anointed,
Protector noster, aspice, Deus, et respice in faciem christi tui.
10 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,
Quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia; elegi abjectus esse in domo Dei mei magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum.
11 for the Lord is sun and shield, the Lord gives grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from the life that is blameless.
Quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus: gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus.
12 Lord of hosts, happy those whose trust is in you.
Non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia: Domine virtutum, beatus homo qui sperat in te.
