Psalms 84

1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm.

1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!

1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!

2Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the livingGod.

3Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.

3Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, My King, and my God.

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she layeth her young, thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and myGod.

4Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou hast turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.

4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. [Selah

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be constantly praising thee. Selah.

5Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.

5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion.

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, — they, in whose heart are the highways.

6Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?

6Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

6 Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a well-spring; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

7Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.

7They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

7 They go from strength to strength: [each one] will appear beforeGod in Zion.

8Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.

8O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. [Selah

8 Jehovah,God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, OGod of Jacob. Selah.

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.

9Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.

9 Behold, OGod our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him : that glory may dwell in our land.

10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of myGod, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.

11For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

11 For Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.

12O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

12 Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that confideth in thee!

13For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
