1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

83:1 In finem, pro torcularibus filiis Core. Psalmus.

2 ¶ Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum!

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

3 Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini;
cor meum et caro mea exsultaverunt in Deum vivum.

3 Yea, 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.

4 Etenim passer invenit sibi domum,
et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos:
altaria tua, Domine virtutum,
rex meus, et Deus meus.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

5 Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine;
in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te.

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

6 Beatus vir cujus est auxilium abs te:
ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,

6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

7 in valle lacrimarum, in loco quem posuit.

7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

8 Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator;
ibunt de virtute in virtutem:
videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.

8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

9 Domine Deus virtutum, exaudi orationem meam;
auribus percipe, Deus Jacob.

9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 Protector noster, aspice, Deus,
et respice in faciem christi tui.

10 For 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.

11 Quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia;
elegi abjectus esse in domo Dei mei
magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum.

11 For 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.

12 Quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus:
gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus.

12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

13 Non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia:
Domine virtutum, beatus homo qui sperat in te.
