Psalmorum 84
1 in finem pro torcularibus filiis Core psalmus quam dilecta tabernacula tua Domine virtutum
For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
2 concupiscit et defecit anima mea in atria Domini cor meum et caro mea exultavit in Deum vivum
My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out 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
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
4 beati qui habitant in domo tua in saecula saeculorum laudabunt te diapsalma
How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
5 beatus vir cui est auxilium abs te ascensiones in corde suo disposuit
Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6 in valle lacrimarum in loco quem posuit
As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
7 etenim benedictiones dabit legis dator ibunt de virtute in virtutem videbitur Deus deorum in Sion
They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
8 Domine Deus virtutum exaudi orationem meam auribus percipe Deus Iacob diapsalma
O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
9 protector noster aspice Deus et respice in faciem christi tui
Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of 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 is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
12 non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia Domine virtutum beatus vir qui sperat in te
O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
