Text & translations
Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 83)Latin text 1 In finem, pro torcularibus filiis Core. Psalmus. 2 Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum! 3 Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini; cor meum et caro 4 Etenim passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum sibi,
5 Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine; in saecula saeculorum 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 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. |
Church of England 1662 Book of Common PrayerEnglish text Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for the sons of Core. 1 O how amiable are thy dwellings: thou Lord of hosts! 2 My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord: my heart 3 Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay 4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be alway praising thee. 5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee: in whose heart are thy ways. 6 Who going through the vale of misery use it for a well: and the pools are filled with water. 7 They will go from strength to strength: and unto the God of gods appeareth every one of them in Sion. 8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: hearken, O God of Jacob. 9 Behold, O God our defender: and look upon the face of thine Anointed. 10 For one day in thy courts: is better than a thousand. 11 I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God: than to dwell in the tents of ungodliness. 12 For the Lord God is a light and defence: the Lord will give grace and worship, and no good thing shall he withhold from them that live a godly life. 13 O Lord God of hosts: blessed is the man that putteth his trust in thee. |
