For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core,
concerning the wine-presses. 84:1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Yehovah
of hosts!
84:2 My soul longs, and faints for the courts of Yehovah: my heart and my
flesh have exulted in the living god.
84:3 Yea, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest
for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O Yehovah of
hosts my King, and my Elohim.
84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will praise thee
evermore. Pause.
84:5 Blessed is the man whose help is of thee, O Yehovah; in his heart he has
purposed to go up
84:6 the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there]
the law-giver will grant blessings.
84:7 They shall go from strength to strength: the Elohim of gods shall be seen
in Zion.
84:8 O Yehovah Elohim of hosts, hear my prayer: hearken, O Elohim of Jacob. Pause.
84:9 Behold, O Elohim our defender, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
84:10 For one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be
an abject in the house of Elohim, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
84:11 For Yehovah loves mercy and truth: Elohim will give grace and glory: the
Yehovah will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
84:12 O Yehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in thee. |
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm
for the sons of Korah. 84:1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Yehovah of
hosts!
84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Yehovah: my
heart and my flesh crieth out for the living Elohim.
84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for
herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Yehovah of hosts, my
King, and my Elohim.
84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising
thee. Selah.
84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the
ways of them.
84:6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also
filleth the pools.
84:7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth
before Elohim.
84:8 O Yehovah Elohim of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O Elohim of Jacob. Selah.
84:9 Behold, O Elohim our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a
doorkeeper in the house of my Elohim, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
84:11 For Yehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Yehovah will give grace and
glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
84:12 O Yehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. |
