Psalms 84
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1(84-1) For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. (84-2) How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm.
2(84-3) My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.
2Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
3(84-4) Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God — .
3Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
4(84-5) Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. Selah
4Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
5(84-6) Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways.
5Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
6(84-7) Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.
6Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
7(84-8) They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
7Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
8(84-9) O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
8Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
9(84-10) Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed.
9I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.
10(84-11) For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand; I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
10Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
11(84-12) For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD giveth grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
11Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
12(84-13) O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.
12Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
