Psalms • Chapter 84

1 Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for the sons of Core. 2 How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of host! 3 my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God (Elohim). 4 For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God (Elohim). 5 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever. 6 Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps, 7 in the vale of tears, in the place which be hath set. 8 For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: the God (Elohim) of gods shall be seen in Sion. 9 O Lord God (Elohim) of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God (Elohim) of Jacob. 10 Behold, O God (Elohim) our protector: and look on the face of thy Christ. 11 For better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God (Elohim), rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners. 12 For God (Elohim) loveth mercy and truth: the Lord will give Grace and glory. 13 He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence : O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
