Psalm 84 (WEBP)
[1] How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies!
[2] My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
[3] Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.
[4] Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.
[5] Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
[6] Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
[7] They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
[8] Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.
[9] Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
[10] For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
[11] For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
[12] Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

[1] [83:1] εις το τελος υπερ των ληνων τοις υιοις κορε ψαλμος [83:2] ως αγαπητα τα σκηνωματα σου κυριε των δυναμεων
[2] [83:3] επιποθει και εκλειπει η ψυχη μου εις τας αυλας του κυριου η καρδια μου και η σαρξ μου ηγαλλιασαντο επι θεον ζωντα
[3] [83:4] και γαρ στρουθιον ευρεν εαυτω οικιαν και τρυγων νοσσιαν εαυτη ου θησει τα νοσσια αυτης τα θυσιαστηρια σου κυριε των δυναμεων ο βασιλευς μου και ο θεος μου
[4] [83:5] μακαριοι οι κατοικουντες εν τω οικω σου εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αινεσουσιν σε διαψαλμα
[5] [83:6] μακαριος ανηρ ου εστιν η αντιλημψις αυτου παρα σου κυριε αναβασεις εν τη καρδια αυτου διεθετο
[6] [83:7] εν τη κοιλαδι του κλαυθμωνος εις τοπον ον εθετο και γαρ ευλογιας δωσει ο νομοθετων
[7] [83:8] πορευσονται εκ δυναμεως εις δυναμιν οφθησεται ο θεος των θεων εν σιων
[8] [83:9] κυριε ο θεος των δυναμεων εισακουσον της προσευχης μου ενωτισαι ο θεος ιακωβ διαψαλμα
[9] [83:10] υπερασπιστα ημων ιδε ο θεος και επιβλεψον επι το προσωπον του χριστου σου
[10] [83:11] οτι κρεισσων ημερα μια εν ταις αυλαις σου υπερ χιλιαδας εξελεξαμην παραρριπτεισθαι εν τω οικω του θεου μαλλον η οικειν εν σκηνωμασιν αμαρτωλων
[11] [83:12] οτι ελεον και αληθειαν αγαπα κυριος ο θεος χαριν και δοξαν δωσει κυριος ου στερησει τα αγαθα τους πορευομενους εν ακακια
[12] [83:13] κυριε των δυναμεων μακαριος ανθρωπος ο ελπιζων επι σε
