For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts! (MT 84:2; LXX 83:1; LXX 83:2; Rahlfs 83:1; Rahlfs 83:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־הַגִּתִּ֑ית לִבְנֵי־קֹ֥רַח מִזְמֽוֹר׃
2My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. (MT 84:3; LXX 83:3; Rahlfs 83:3)
מַה־יְּדִיד֥וֹת מִשְׁכְּנוֹתֶ֗יךָ יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת׃
3Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O Lord of Hosts, my King and my God. (MT 84:4; LXX 83:4; Rahlfs 83:4)
נִכְסְפָ֬ה וְגַם־כָּלְתָ֨ה ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְחַצְר֪וֹת יְה֫וָ֥ה לִבִּ֥י וּבְשָׂרִ֑י יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ אֶ֣ל אֵֽל־חָֽי׃
4How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah (MT 84:5; LXX 83:5; Rahlfs 83:5)
גַּם־צִפּ֨וֹר ׀ מָ֪צְאָה בַ֡יִת וּדְר֤וֹר ׀ קֵ֥ן לָהּ֮ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֪תָה אֶפְרֹ֫חֶ֥יהָ אֶֽת־מִ֭זְבְּחוֹתֶיךָ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת מַ֝לְכִּ֗י וֵאלֹהָֽי׃
5Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. (MT 84:6; LXX 83:6; Rahlfs 83:6)
אַ֭שְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ ע֝֗וֹד יְֽהַלְל֥וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃
6As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools. (MT 84:7; LXX 83:7; Rahlfs 83:7)
אַשְׁרֵ֣י אָ֭דָם עֽוֹז־ל֥וֹ בָ֑ךְ מְ֝סִלּ֗וֹת בִּלְבָבָֽם׃
7They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion. (MT 84:8; LXX 83:8; Rahlfs 83:8)
עֹבְרֵ֤י ׀ בְּעֵ֣מֶק הַ֭בָּכָא מַעְיָ֣ן יְשִׁית֑וּהוּ גַּם־בְּ֝רָכ֗וֹת יַעְטֶ֥ה מוֹרֶֽה׃
8O Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah (MT 84:9; LXX 83:9; Rahlfs 83:9)
יֵ֭לְכוּ מֵחַ֣יִל אֶל־חָ֑יִל יֵרָאֶ֖ה אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּצִיּֽוֹן׃
9Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed. (MT 84:10; LXX 83:10; Rahlfs 83:10)
יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְ֭בָאוֹת שִׁמְעָ֣ה תְפִלָּתִ֑י הַאֲזִ֨ינָה אֱלֹהֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃
10For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. (MT 84:11; LXX 83:11; Rahlfs 83:11)
מָ֭גִנֵּנוּ רְאֵ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְ֝הַבֵּ֗ט פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃
11For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; the Lord gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity. (MT 84:12; LXX 83:12; Rahlfs 83:12)
כִּ֤י טֽוֹב־י֥וֹם בַּחֲצֵרֶ֗יךָ מֵ֫אָ֥לֶף בָּחַ֗רְתִּי הִ֭סְתּוֹפֵף בְּבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהַ֑י מִ֝דּ֗וּר בְּאָהֳלֵי־רֶֽשַׁע׃
12O Lord of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You! (MT 84:13; LXX 83:13; Rahlfs 83:13)
כִּ֤י שֶׁ֨מֶשׁ ׀ וּמָגֵן֮ יְהוָ֪ה אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים חֵ֣ן וְ֭כָבוֹד יִתֵּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה לֹ֥א יִמְנַע־ט֝֗וֹב לַֽהֹלְכִ֥ים בְּתָמִֽים׃
