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 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 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 Prayer

English text

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 and my flesh rejoice in the living God.

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young : even thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.

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.
