Psalm 84

(For the one directing. On the gittit. Mizmor for the Bnei Korach)

How yedidot (lovely) are thy mishkanot, O Hashem Tzva'os!

My nefesh longeth, yea, even fainteth for the khatzrot Hashem (courts of Hashem); my lev and my basar crieth out for El Chai.

Yea, the sparrow hath found a bais, and the swallow a ken (nest) for herself, where she may lay her young, even Thine mizbechot, O Hashem Tzva'os Malki v'Elohai.

Ashrei are they that dwell in Thy Beis; they are ever praising Thee. Selah

Ashrei is the adam whose oz (strength) is in Thee; in whose lev are their highways [to Tziyon].

Who passing through the valley of Baca (weeping) make it a ma'ayon (spring, fountain); the moreh (early rain) also covereth it with berakhot (blessings).

They go from strength to strength, every one of them who appeareth before Elohim in Tziyon.

O Hashem Elohim Tzva'os, hear my tefillah; give ear, O Elohei Ya'akov. Selah

Behold mogineinu (our shield), O Elohim, and look upon the face of Thine Moshiach.

For a yom in Thy khatzrot is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the Beis Elohai, than to dwell in the ohalim resha (tents of wickedness).

For Hashem Elohim is a shemesh and a mogen; Hashem will give chen and kavod; no good thing will He withhold from the holekhim b'tamim (them that walk uprightly).

O Hashem Tzva'os, ashrei is the adam bote'ach (man that trusteth, hath confident faith) in Thee.
