| [1]HOW amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! |
[1]The title of the foure and eiytetithe salm. Of the sones of Chore. |
| [2]My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh give praise for the living God. |
[2]Lord, thou hast blessid thi lond; thou hast turned awei the caitifte of Jacob. |
| [3]Yea, even the sparrow has found a house, and the pigeon a nest for herself, where they have raised their young beside thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. |
[3]Thou hast foryoue the wickidnesse of thi puple; thou hast hilid alle the synnes of hem. |
| [4]Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they shall praise thee for ever. |
[4]Thou hast aswagid al thin ire; thou hast turned awei fro the ire of thin indignacioun. |
| [5]Blessed is the man whose help is from thee; in whose heart are thy ways. |
[5]God, oure helthe, conuerte thou vs; and turne awei thin ire fro vs. |
| [6]They have passed through the valley of weeping, and have made it a dwelling place; the Lawgiver shall cover it with blessings; |
[6]Whether thou schalt be wrooth to vs withouten ende; ether schalt thou holde forth thin ire fro generacioun in to generacioun? |
| [7]They shall go from strength to strength; the God of gods shall be seen in Zion. |
[7]God, thou conuertid schalt quykene vs; and thi puple schal be glad in thee. |
| [8]O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. |
[8]Lord, schewe thi merci to vs; and yyue thin helthe to vs. |
| [9]Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. |
[9]I schal here what the Lord God schal speke in me; for he schal speke pees on his puple. And on hise hooli men; and on hem that ben turned to herte. |
| [10]For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I would choose rather to dwell in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of the wicked. |
[10]Netheles his helthe is niy men dredynge him; that glorie dwelle in oure lond. |
| [11]For the LORD God is our supply and our helper; the LORD will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. |
[11]Merci and treuthe metten hem silf; riytwisnesse and pees weren kissid. |
| [12]O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in thee. |
[12]Treuthe cam forth of erthe; and riytfulnesse bihelde fro heuene. |
