Psalms 83

Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for the sons of Core.

In finem, pro torcularibus filiis Core. Psalmus.

εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε ψαλμός

How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum!

ὡς ἀγαπητὰ τὰ σκηνώματά σου κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων

My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.

Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini; cor meum et caro mea exsultaverunt in Deum vivum.

ἐπιποθεῖ καὶ ἐκλείπει ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὰς αὐλὰς τοῦ κυρίου ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου ἠγαλλιάσαντο ἐπὶ θεὸν ζῶντα

For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

Etenim passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos : altaria tua, Domine virtutum, rex meus, et Deus meus.

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

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever.

Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine; in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te.

μακάριοι οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων αἰνέσουσίν σε διάψαλμα

Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps,

Beatus vir cujus est auxilium abs te : ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,

μακάριος ἀνήρ οὗ ἐστιν ἡ ἀντίλημψις αὐτοῦ παρὰ σοῦ κύριε ἀναβάσεις ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ διέθετο

In the vale of tears, in the place which he hath set.

in valle lacrimarum, in loco quem posuit.

ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τοῦ κλαυθμῶνος εἰς τόπον ὃν ἔθετο καὶ γὰρ εὐλογίας δώσει ὁ νομοθετῶν

For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator; ibunt de virtute in virtutem : videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.

πορεύσονται ἐκ δυνάμεως εἰς δύναμιν ὀφθήσεται ὁ θεὸς τῶν θεῶν ἐν Σιων

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.

Domine Deus virtutum, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe, Deus Jacob.

κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου ἐνώτισαι ὁ θεὸς Ιακωβ διάψαλμα

Behold, O God our protector: and look on the face of thy Christ.

Protector noster, aspice, Deus, et respice in faciem christi tui.

ὑπερασπιστὰ ἡμῶν ἰδέ ὁ θεός καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σου

For better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.

Quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia; elegi abjectus esse in domo Dei mei magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum.

ὅτι κρείσσων ἡμέρα μία ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς σου ὑπὲρ χιλιάδας ἐξελεξάμην παραρριπτεῖσθαι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ μᾶλλον ἢ οἰκεῖν ἐν σκηνώμασιν ἁμαρτωλῶν

For God loveth mercy and truth: the Lord will give grace and glory.

Quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus : gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus.

ὅτι ἔλεον καὶ ἀλήθειαν ἀγαπᾷ κύριος ὁ θεός χάριν καὶ δόξαν δώσει κύριος οὐ στερήσει τὰ ἀγαθὰ τοὺς πορευομένους ἐν ἀκακίᾳ

He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia : Domine virtutum, beatus homo qui sperat in te.

κύριε τῶν δυνάμεων μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἐλπίζων ἐπὶ σέ
