84 Malo anu okhalamo ndi okomadi,
    Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse!
Moyo wanga ukulakalaka, mpaka kukomoka,
    kufuna mabwalo a Yehova;
Mtima wanga ndi thupi langa zikufuwulira
    Mulungu wamoyo.

Ngakhale timba wapeza nyumba yokhalamo,
    ndiponso namzeze wadzipezera yekha chisa,
    kumene amagonekako ana ake
pafupi ndi guwa lanu la nsembe,
    Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mfumu yanga ndi Mulungu wanga.
Odala amene amakhala mʼNyumba yanu;
    nthawi zonse amakutamandani.
            Sela

Odala amene mphamvu yawo ili mwa Inu,
    mitima yawo ikufunitsitsa kuyenda mʼmisewu yopita ku Ziyoni.
Pamene akudutsa chigwa cha Baka,
    amachisandutsa malo a akasupe;
    mvula ya chizimalupsa imadzazanso mayiwe ake.
Iwo amanka nakulirakulira mphamvu
    mpaka aliyense ataonekera pamaso pa Mulungu mu Ziyoni.

Imvani pemphero langa, Inu Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse;
    mvereni Inu Mulungu wa Yakobo.
            Sela
Yangʼanani chishango chathu, Inu Mulungu;
    yangʼanani mokoma mtima pa wodzozedwa wanu.

10 Nʼkwabwino kukhala mʼmabwalo anu tsiku limodzi
    kuposa kukhala kwina kwake kwa zaka 1,000;
Ine ndingakonde kukhala mlonda wa pa khomo la Nyumba ya Mulungu wanga
    kuposa kukhala mʼmatenti a anthu oyipa.
11 Pakuti Yehova Mulungu ndi dzuwa ndi chishango;
    Yehova amapereka chisomo ndi ulemu;
Iye sawamana zinthu zabwino
    iwo amene amayenda mwangwiro.

12 Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse,
    wodala ndi munthu amene amakhulupirira Inu.

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.
