Psalm 84:9-10,1-2 [Latin: Psalmi 83:10-11,2-3] – 9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed [“of Christ” in Latin Vulgate].

Introitus: Protector noster [God our shield, or our protector] (Solesmes Version)
Introitus: Protector noster [God our shield] (Solesmes Version)
10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

1 How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

Protéctor noster, áspice, Deus, et réspice in fáciem Cristi tui: quia mélior est dies una in átriis tuis super mílla.

Quam dilécta tabernácula tua, Dómine virtútum! concupíscit et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómine
