Psalmes 84

P S A L. LXXXIII.

1 A complaint to God of the enemies conspiracies. 9 A prayer against them that oppresse the Church.

¶ A song or Psalme of Asaph.

LXXXIV ¶ Keepe not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2 For loe, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lift vp the head. 3 They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4 They haue said, Come, and let vs cut them off from being a nation: that the name of Israel may bee no more in remembrance. 5 [fn]For they haue consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee. 6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites: of Moab, and the Hagarens. 7 Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre. 8 [fn]Assur also is ioyned with them: they haue holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 9 [ref][ref]Doe vnto them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera, as to Iabin, at the brooke of Kison: 10 Which perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth. 11 [ref]Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 12 Who sayd, Let vs take to our selues, the houses of God in possession. 13 O my God, make them like a wheele: as the stubble before the wind. 14 As the fire burneth a wood: and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire: 15 So persecute them with thy tempest: and make them afraid with thy storme. 16 Fill their faces with shame: that they may seeke thy name, O LORD. 17 Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea let them be put to shame, and perish: 18 That men may knowe, that thou, whose name alone is IEHOVAH: art the most High ouer all the earth.

P S A L. LXXXIV.

1 The Prophet longing for the communion of the Sanctuarie, 4 sheweth how blessed they are that dwell therein. 8 Hee prayeth to be restored vnto it.

¶ To the chiefe musician vpon Gittith, a Psalme for the sonnes of Korah.

LXXXIV ¶ How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hostes! 2 My soule longeth, yea euen fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cryeth out for the liuing God. 3 Yea the sparrowe hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for her selfe, where she may lay her young, euen thine altars, O LORD of hostes, my king and my God. 4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they wilbe still praysing thee. Selah. 5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee: in whose heart are the wayes of them: 6 [fn][fn]Who passing through the valley of Baca, make it a well: the raine also filleth the pooles. 7 [fn]They goe from strength to strength: euery one of them in Zion appeareth before God. 8 O LORD God of hostes, heare my prayer: giue eare, O God of Iacob. Selah. 9 Behold, O God our shield: and looke vpon the face of thine anointed. 10 [fn]For a day in thy courts, is better then a thousand: I had rather be a doore keeper in the house of my God, then to dwell in the tents of wickednesse. 11 [ref]For the LORD God is a sunne and shield: the LORD will giue grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walke vprightly. 12 O LORD of hostes: blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
