Psalms 84

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!	1 [For the choirmaster On the . . . of Gath Of the sons of Korah Psalm] How lovely are your dwel ing-places, Yahweh Sabaoth.
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.	2 My whole being yearns and pines for Yahweh's courts, My heart and my body cry out for joy to theliving God.
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 LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.	3 Even the sparrow has found a home, the swal ow a nest to place its young: your altars, YahwehSabaoth, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.	4 How blessed are those who live in your house; they shall praise you continual y. Pause
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.	5 Blessed those who find their strength in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.	6 As they pass through the Val ey of the Balsam, they make there a water-hole, and -- a further blessing-- early rain fil s it.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.	7 They make their way from height to height, God shows himself to them in Zion.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.	8 Yahweh, God Sabaoth, hear my prayer, listen, God of Jacob.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.	9 God, our shield, look, and see the face of your anointed.
10 For 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 Better one day in your courts than a thousand at my own devices, to stand on the threshold of God'shouse than to live in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.	11 For Yahweh God is a rampart and shield, he gives grace and glory; Yahweh refuses nothing good tothose whose life is blameless.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.	12 Yahweh Sabaoth, blessed is he who trusts in you.
