83:6. Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: in his heart he hath
disposed to ascend by steps,

In his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps, etc... Ascensiones in
corde suo disposuit. As by steps men ascended to the temple of God
situated on a hill; so the good Christian ascends towards the eternal
temple by certain steps of virtue disposed or ordered within the heart:
and this whilst he lives as yet in the body, in this vale of tears, the
place which man hath set: that is, which he hath brought himself to:
being cast out of paradise for his sin.

83:7. In the vale of tears, in the place which he hath set.

83:8. For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue
to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

83:9. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.

83:10. Behold, O God our protector: and look on the face of thy Christ.

83:11. For better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have
chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in
the tabernacles of sinners.

83:12. For God loveth mercy and truth: the Lord will give grace and
glory.

83:13. He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: O
Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Psalms Chapter 84

Benedixisti, Domine.

The coming of Christ, to bring peace and salvation to man.

84:1. Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm.

84:2. Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the
captivity of Jacob.

84:3. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered
all their sins.

84:4. Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou hast turned away from the
wrath of thy indignation.

84:5. Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.

84:6. Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath
from generation to generation?

84:7. Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall
rejoice in thee.

84:8. Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.

84:9. I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak
peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are
converted to the heart.

84:10. Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory
may dwell in our land.

84:11. Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have
kissed.

84:12. Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down
from heaven.

84:13. For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her
fruit.

84:14. Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the
way.

Psalms Chapter 85

Inclina, Domine.
