Tehillim 84

2How yedidot (lovely) are thy mishkanot,

O Hashem Tzva'os!

3My nefesh longeth, yea, even fainteth

for the khatzrot Hashem (courts of Hashem ) ;

my lev and my basar

crieth out for El Chai.

4Yea, 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.

5Ashrei are they that dwell in Thy Beis;[#84:5 Hamikdash]

they are ever praising Thee.

Selah

6Ashrei is the adam whose oz (strength) is in Thee;

in whose lev are their highways [to Tziyon].

7Who passing through the valley of Baca (weeping)

make it a ma'ayon (spring, fountain) ;

the moreh (early rain) also covereth it with berakhot (blessings) .

8They go from strength to strength,

every one of them who appeareth before Elohim in Tziyon.

9O Hashem Elohim Tzva'os, hear my tefillah;

give ear, O Elohei Ya'akov.

Selah

10Behold mogineinu (our shield) , O Elohim,

and look upon the face of Thine Moshiach.

11For 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) .

12For 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) .

13O Hashem Tzva'os, ashrei is the adam

bote'ach (man that trusteth, hath confident faith) in Thee.
