Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini;
cor meum et caro mea exsultaverunt in Deum vivum.
Etenim passer invenit sibi domum,
et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos:
altaria tua, Domine virtutum,
rex meus, et Deus meus.
Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine;
in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te.
Beatus vir cujus est auxilium abs te:
ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,
in valle lacrimarum, in loco quem posuit.
Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator;
ibunt de virtute in virtutem:
videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.
Domine Deus virtutum, exaudi orationem meam;
auribus percipe, Deus Jacob.
Protector noster, aspice, Deus,
et respice in faciem christi tui.
Quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia;
elegi abjectus esse in domo Dei mei
magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum.
Quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus:
gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus.
Non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia:
Domine virtutum, beatus homo qui sperat in te.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

As the fire burneth the wood,.... Or "forest" m; which is sometimes done purposely, and sometimes through carelessness, as Virgil n observes; and which is done very easily and swiftly, when fire is set to it; even all the trees of it, great and small, to which an army is sometimes compared, Isaiah 10:18, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; either the mountains themselves, as Etna, Vesuvius, and others; or rather the grass and trees that grow upon them, smitten by lightning from heaven, which may be meant by the flame: in like manner it is wished that the fire and flame of divine wrath would consume the confederate enemies of Israel, above mentioned; as wicked men are but as trees of the forest, and the grass of the mountains, or as thorns and briers, to the wrath of God, which is poured out as fire, and is signified by everlasting burnings.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As the fire burneth a wood ... - The same idea is here presented under another form. No image of desolation is more fearful than that of fire raging in a forest; or of fire on the mountains. As trees and shrubs and grass fall before such a flame, so the prayer is, that they who had combined against the people of God might be swept away by his just displeasure.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 83:14. The flame setteth the mountains on fire — This may refer to the burning of the straw and chaff, after the grain was threshed and winnowed. And as their threshing-floors were situated often on the hills or mountains, to take the advantage of the wind, the setting the mountains on fire may refer to the burning of the chaff, &c., in those places. Let them be like stubble driven away by the wind, and burnt by the fire.
