84 (A)Eweema zo nga nnungi,
    Ayi Mukama ow’Eggye!
(B)Omwoyo gwange guyaayaana,
    gwagala na kuzirika,
olw’empya za Mukama,
    omutima gwange n’omubiri gwange bikoowoola Katonda omulamu.
(C)Weewaawo,
    ne nkazaluggya yeekoledde ekisu,
    n’akataayi ennyumba mwe binaakulizanga abaana baabyo
awo okumpi n’Ebyoto byo,
    Ayi Mukama Ayinzabyonna, Kabaka wange, era Katonda wange.
Balina omukisa ababeera mu nnyumba yo,
    banaakutenderezanga.

(D)Alina omukisa omuntu eyeesiga amaanyi go,
    era assaayo omwoyo okutambulira mu makubo go.
(E)Bayita mu kiwonvu Baka,
    ne bakifuula ekifo ky’ensulo;
    n’enkuba ya ddumbi n’ejjuza ebidiba byakyo.
(F)Bagenda beeyongera amaanyi,
    okutuusa lwe batuuka mu maaso ga Katonda mu Sayuuni.

Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye;
    mpuliriza, Ayi Katonda wa Yakobo.
(G)Ayi Katonda, Engabo yaffe,
    tunuulira kabaka wo n’okusaasira oyo gwe wafukako amafuta.

10 (H)Okumala olunaku olumu mu mpya zo,
    kisinga okubeera emyaka olukumi mu bifo ebirala.
Njagala okuba omuggazi mu nnyumba ya Katonda wange,
    okusinga okubeeranga mu weema z’abakola ebibi.
11 (I)Kubanga Mukama Katonda ye njuba yaffe era ye ngabo yaffe;
    atuwa emikisa gye awamu n’ekitiibwa;
tewaliiwo kirungi na kimu ky’ataawa
    abo abatambulira mu makubo ge nga tebaliiko kyakunenyezebwa.

12 (J)Ayi Mukama ow’Eggye
    alina omukisa omuntu akwesiga.

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.

84 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

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

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

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

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
