1 Al Músico principal: sobre Gittith: Salmo para los hijos de Coré. ¡CUÁN amables son tus moradas, oh Jehová de los ejércitos!
1 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies!
2 Codicia y aun ardientemente desea mi alma los atrios de Jehová: mi corazón y mi carne cantan al Dios vivo.
2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Aun el gorrión halla casa, y la golondrina nido para sí, donde ponga sus pollos en tus altares, oh Jehová de los ejércitos, rey mío, y Dios mío.
3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.
4 Bienaventurados los que habitan en tu casa: perpetuamente te alabarán. (Selah.)

10 Porque mejor es un día en tus atrios que mil [fuera de ellos]: escogería antes estar á la puerta de la casa de mi Dios, que habitar en las moradas de maldad.
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 Porque sol y escudo es Jehová Dios: gracia y gloria dará Jehová: no quitará el bien á los que en integridad andan.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXXIII)

    The people of God, then, in this Psalm saith, "O God, who shall be like unto Thee?" (ver. 1). Which I suppose to be more fitly taken of Christ, because, being made in the likeness of men, He was thought by those by whom He was despised to be comparable to other men: for He was even "reckoned among the …

    By Thy Gift we are inflamed, and are borne upwards; we wax hot inwardly, and go forwards.

  3. Quotes verse 84:10 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily IV)

    "For I had rather," it is said, "be an outcast in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of sinners." And "one day in thy courts is better than thousands." They would have chosen then ten thousand times rather to be outcasts at home, than kings in Babylon.

    And hence in another psalm He says, "My soul longeth, yea, even faileth, for the courts of the Lord." Yet, though he had said of both his heart and his flesh that they were failing, he did not say, O God of my heart and my flesh, but, O God of my heart; for by the heart the flesh is …

    I am admonished also by the sacred song, in which I read or hear the words, "Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house, O Lord; they will be still praising Thee." All the members and organs of the incorruptible body, which now we see to be suited to various necessary uses, shall contribute to the praises of God; for …
