(For the one directing. On the gittit. Mizmor for the Bnei Korach)
How yedidot (lovely) are thy mishkanot,
O Hashem Tzva'os!
My nefesh longeth, yea, even fainteth
for the khatzrot Hashem(courts of Hashem);
my lev and my basar
crieth out for El Chai.
 
Yea, 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.
Ashrei are they that dwell in Thy Beis;*Hamikdash
they are ever praising Thee.
Selah
 
Ashrei is the adam whose oz (strength) is in Thee;
in whose lev are their highways [to Tziyon].see Ps 84:7 [8]
Who passing through the valley of Baca (weeping)
make it a ma'ayon (spring, fountain);
the moreh (early rain) also covereth it with berakhot (blessings).
They go from strength to strength,
every one of them who appeareth before Elohim in Tziyon.
 
O Hashem Elohim Tzva'os, hear my tefillah;
give ear, O Elohei Ya'akov.
Selah
10  Behold mogineinu (our shield), O Elohim,
and look upon the face of Thine Moshiach.
 
11  For 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).
12  For 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).
13  O Hashem Tzva'os, ashrei is the adam
bote'ach (man that trusteth, hath confident faith) in Thee.
