84 ¶ (84:1) Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou lè yon chante yo chante lè y'ap kraze rezen. Se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. (84:2) Ala bèl kay ou a bèl, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa!

(84:3) Jan mwen anvi wè kay Seyè a sa! M'ap deperi sitèlman m' anvi al lakay Seyè a. M'ap chante, m'ap fè fèt pou Bondye vivan an.

(84:4) Menm ti zwezo jwenn kote pou yo rete, menm iwondèl jwenn nich pou mete pitit yo: Se toupre lotèl ou yo, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa, ou menm ki Bondye mwen, ou menm ki wa mwen!

(84:5) Ala bon sa bon pou moun k'ap viv lakay ou yo! Yo toujou ap fè lwanj ou.

(84:6) Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki mete konfyans yo nan ou, pou moun ki fè lide ale sou Mòn Siyon an!

(84:7) Lè y'ap pase nan mitan Fon Sèk la, yo fè l' tounen yon kote ki plen sous dlo. Anvan yon ti lapli tonbe, tout jaden bèl.

(84:8) Plis y'ap mache, se plis y'ap gen fòs. Yo gen pou yo parèt devan Bondye sou mòn Siyon an.

¶ (84:9) Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, koute lapriyè mwen. Bondye Jakòb la, panche zòrèy ou pou tande m'.

(84:10) Bondye, ou menm ki tout pwoteksyon nou, voye benediksyon ou sou wa ou te chwazi pou nou an!

10 (84:11) Yon jou pase anndan lakay ou pi bon pase mil jou pase nenpòt lòt kote. Mwen ta pito rete kanpe nan papòt kay Bondye a pase pou m' ta rete anndan kay mechan yo.

11 (84:12) Paske, se Seyè a ki tout defans mwen, se li menm k'ap pwoteje nou. L'ap ban nou favè li, l'ap fè yo respekte nou. Lè yon moun ap mennen yon vi ki san repwòch, Bondye p'ap janm refize l' okenn bon bagay.

12 (84:13) Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa, ala bon sa bon pou moun ki mete konfyans yo nan ou!

Psalm 84[a]

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

How lovely is your dwelling place,(A)
    Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns,(B) even faints,
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
    for the living God.(C)
Even the sparrow has found a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,(D)
    Lord Almighty,(E) my King(F) and my God.(G)
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
    they are ever praising you.[c]

Blessed are those whose strength(H) is in you,
    whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.(I)
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
    they make it a place of springs;(J)
    the autumn(K) rains also cover it with pools.[d]
They go from strength to strength,(L)
    till each appears(M) before God in Zion.(N)

Hear my prayer,(O) Lord God Almighty;
    listen to me, God of Jacob.
Look on our shield,[e](P) O God;
    look with favor on your anointed one.(Q)

10 Better is one day in your courts
    than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper(R) in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun(S) and shield;(T)
    the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold(U)
    from those whose walk is blameless.

12 Lord Almighty,
    blessed(V) is the one who trusts in you.
