1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psalms 84

1 The prophet longing for the communion of the sanctuary, 4 sheweth how blessed they are that dwell therein. 8 He prayeth to be restored unto it.

 84:1 ¶ To the Overseer.—'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.'—A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!

 84:2 My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,

 84:3 (Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood,) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.

 84:4 O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. Selah.

 84:5 O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.

 84:6 Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.

 84:7 They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.

 84:8 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

 84:9 Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,

 84:10 For good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.

 84:11 For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.

 84:12 Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.
