Psalms 84
1The title of the foure and eiytetithe salm. Of the sones of Chore.
2Lord, thou hast blessid thi lond; thou hast turned awei the caitifte of Jacob.
3Thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of thi puple; thou hast hilid alle the synnes of hem.
4Thou hast aswagid al thin ire; thou hast turned awei fro the ire of thin indignacioun.
5God, oure helthe, conuerte thou vs; and turne awei thin ire fro vs.
6Whether thou schalt be wrooth to vs withouten ende; ether schalt thou holde forth thin ire fro generacioun in to generacioun?
7God, thou conuertid schalt quykene vs; and thi puple schal be glad in thee.
8Lord, schewe thi merci to vs; and yyue thin helthe to vs.
9I schal here what the Lord God schal speke in me; for he schal speke pees on his puple. And on hise hooli men; and on hem that ben turned to herte.
10Netheles his helthe is niy men dredynge him; that glorie dwelle in oure lond.
11Merci and treuthe metten hem silf; riytwisnesse and pees weren kissid.
12Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene.
13For the Lord schal yyue benignyte; and oure erthe schal yyue his fruyt.
14Riytfulnesse schal go bifore him; and schal sette hise steppis in the weie.
Psalms 84
1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3Yea, 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.
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10For 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.
11For 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.
12O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
