For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine-presses.

ΩΣ ΑΓΑΠΗΤΑ τὰ σκηνώματά σου, Κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων.

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

ἐπιποθεῖ καὶ ἐκλείπει ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὰς αὐλὰς τοῦ Κυρίου, ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου ἠγαλλιάσαντο ἐπὶ Θεὸν ζῶντα.

³

My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God.

⁴

καὶ γὰρ στρουθίον εὗρεν ἑαυτῷ οἰκίαν καὶ τρυγὼν νοσσιὰν ἑαυτῇ, οὗ θήσει τὰ νοσσία ἑαυτῆς, τὰ θυσιαστήριά σου, Κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων, ὁ Βασιλεύς μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου.

⁴

Yea, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will praise thee evermore. Pause.

Blessed is the man whose help is of thee, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up

εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τοῦ κλαυθμῶνος, εἰς τὸν τόπον, ὃν ἔθετο· καὶ γὰρ εὐλογίας δώσει ὁ νομοθετῶν.

the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for there the law-giver will grant blessings.

πορεύσονται ἐκ δυνάμεως εἰς δύναμιν, ὀφθήσεται ὁ Θεὸς τῶν θεῶν ἐν Σιών.

Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου, ἐνώτισαι, ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ιακώβ. (διάψαλμα).

ὑπερασπιστὰ ἡμῶν, ἴδε, ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἐπίβλεψον εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σου.

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

¹¹

ὅτι κρείσσων ἡμέρα μία ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς σου ὑπὲρ χιλιάδας· ἐξελεξάμην παραρριπτεῖσθαι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ μου μᾶλλον ἢ οἰκεῖν με ἐν σκηνώμασιν ἁμαρτωλῶν.

For one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.

¹²

ὅτι ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθειαν ἀγαπᾷ Κύριος ὁ Θεός, χάριν καὶ δόξαν δώσει· Κύριος οὐ στερήσει τὰ ἀγαθὰ τοῖς πορευομένοις ἐν ἀκακίᾳ.

For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.

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