Psalms 84 — Novel English Bible

1 How lovely are your mashakan (dwellings), Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies)!

2 My napash (soul) kasap (longs), and even kalah (complete / finish) for the chatzarawath (courts) of Yahawah (). My lab (heart) and my bashar (flesh) ranan (cry) out for the chay (life) Al.

3 Yes, the tzapawar (sparrow) matzaa (has) found a bayath (house), and the darawar (swallow) a qan (nest) for herself, where she may have her aparach (young), near your mazabach (altars), Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), my malak (king), and my Alahayam ().

4 Ashar (who/that) are those who yashab (inhabit/dwell) in your bayath (house). They are always halal (praise) you. Salah (selah).

5 Ashar (who/that) are those whose iz (strength / might / refuge) is in you; who have set their labab (hearts) on a pilgrimage.

6 Ibar (pass over/through) through the imaq (valley) of Weeping, they shayath (put / appoint / make) it a place of maiyan (springs). Yes, the autumn mawarah (rain) itah (covers) it with barakawath (blessings).

7 They yalak (go) from chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor) to chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor). Everyone of them raah (see) before Alahayam () in Tzayawan (Zion).

8 Yahawah (), Alahayam () of tzabaawath (armies), shamai (hearken / hear) my thapalah (prayer). Shamai (hearken / hear), Alahayam () of Yaiqab (Jacob). Salah (selah).

9 Raah (see), Alahayam () our magan (shield), nabat (look) at the panayam (face) of your mashayach (anointed one).

10 For a yawam (day) in your chatzar (courts) is tawab (good / proper function) than a alap (thousand). I would bachar (rather) be a sapap (doorkeeper) in the bayath (house) of my Alahayam (), than to dawar (dwell) in the ahalay (tents) of rashai (wickedness).

11 For Yahawah () Alahayam () is a shamash (sun) and a magan (shield). Yahawah () will nathan (give) chan (favor) and kabawad (glory). He manai (withholds) no tawab (good / proper function) thing from those who halak (move) blamelessly.

12 Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), ashar (who/that) is the adam (man) who batach (trusts) in you.
