εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε ψαλμός | (To the choir-master. Melody: The Winepresses. Of the sons of Core. A psalm.) | In finem, pro torcularibus filiis Core. Psalmus. |
2 ὡς ἀγαπητὰ τὰ σκηνώματά σου κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων 3 ἐπιποθεῖ καὶ ἐκλείπει ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὰς αὐλὰς τοῦ κυρίου ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου ἠγαλλιάσαντο ἐπὶ θεὸν ζῶντα 4 καὶ γὰρ στρουθίον εὗρεν ἑαυτῷ οἰκίαν καὶ τρυγὼν νοσσιὰν ἑαυτῇ οὗ θήσει τὰ νοσσία αὐτῆς τὰ θυσιαστήριά σου κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων ὁ βασιλεύς μου καὶ ὁ θεός μου 5 μακάριοι οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων αἰνέσουσίν σε διάψαλμα 6 μακάριος ἀνήρ οὗ ἐστιν ἡ ἀντίλημψις αὐτοῦ παρὰ σοῦ κύριε ἀναβάσεις ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ διέθετο 7 ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τοῦ κλαυθμῶνος εἰς τόπον ὃν ἔθετο καὶ γὰρ εὐλογίας δώσει ὁ νομοθετῶν 8 πορεύσονται ἐκ δυνάμεως εἰς δύναμιν ὀφθήσεται ὁ θεὸς τῶν θεῶν ἐν Σιων | 2 Lord of hosts, how I love thy dwelling-place! 3 For the courts of the Lord’s house, my soul faints with longing. The living God! at his name my heart, my whole being thrills with joy. 4 Where else should the sparrow find a home, the swallow a nest for her brood, but at thy altar, Lord of hosts, my king and my God? 5 How blessed, Lord, are those who dwell in thy house! They will be ever praising thee. 6 How blessed is the man who finds his strength in thee! Where there are hearts set on pilgrimage, 7 the parched ravine turns into a water-course at their coming, new-clad by the bounty of returning rain. 8 So, at each stage refreshed, they will reach Sion, and have sight there of the God who is above all gods. | 2 Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum! 3 Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini; cor meum et caro mea exsultaverunt in Deum vivum. 4 Etenim passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos: altaria tua, Domine virtutum, rex meus, et Deus meus. 5 Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine; in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te. 6 Beatus vir cujus est auxilium abs te: ascensiones in corde suo disposuit, 7 in valle lacrimarum, in loco quem posuit. 8 Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator; ibunt de virtute in virtutem: videbitur Deus deorum in Sion. |
9 κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου ἐνώτισαι ὁ θεὸς Ιακωβ διάψαλμα 10 ὑπερασπιστὰ ἡμῶν ἰδέ ὁ θεός καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σου 11 ὅτι κρείσσων ἡμέρα μία ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς σου ὑπὲρ χιλιάδας ἐξελεξάμην παραρριπτεῖσθαι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ μᾶλλον ἢ οἰκεῖν ἐν σκηνώμασιν ἁμαρτωλῶν 12 ὅτι ἔλεον καὶ ἀλήθειαν ἀγαπᾷ κύριος ὁ θεός χάριν καὶ δόξαν δώσει κύριος οὐ στερήσει τὰ ἀγαθὰ τοὺς πορευομένους ἐν ἀκακίᾳ 13 κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἐλπίζων ἐπὶ σέ | 9 Lord of hosts, listen to my prayer; God of Israel, grant me audience! 10 God, ever our protector, do not disregard us now; look favourably upon him whom thou hast anointed![1] 11 Willingly would I give a thousand of my days for one spent in thy courts! Willingly reach but the threshold of my God’s house, so I might dwell no more in the abode of sinners! 12 Sun to enlighten, shield to protect us, the Lord God has favour, has honour to bestow. 13 To innocent lives he will never refuse his bounty; Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who puts his confidence in thee. | 9 Domine Deus virtutum, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe, Deus Jacob. 10 Protector noster, aspice, Deus, et respice in faciem christi tui. 11 Quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia; elegi abjectus esse in domo Dei mei magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum. 12 Quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus: gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus. 13 Non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia: Domine virtutum, beatus homo qui sperat in te. |
[1] It is not certain whether King David, or the people of Israel, is here referred to as the anointed (or Christ) of God.
