Psalmus 83 (84) (Bible or other Sacred Texts) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


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.
