Psalm 84
To the Overcomer upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1¶ How amiable are thy habitations, O Lord of the hosts!
2My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing to the living God.
3Even the sparrow has found a house and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young upon thine altars, O Lord of the hosts, my King and my God.
4Happy are those that dwell in thy house; they shall continually praise thee. Selah.
5Happy is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are thy ways,
6 who passing through the valley of Baca, shall make it a well; the rain also shall fill the pools.
7They go forth in a great multitude; and in order, they shall see God in Zion.
8¶ O Lord God of the hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9Behold, O God our shield and look upon the face of thine anointed,
10for a day in thy courts is better than a thousand outside of them. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11For the Lord God is a sun and shield unto us; the Lord will give grace and glory; he will not withhold good from those that walk uprightly.
12O Lord of the hosts, happy is the man that trusts in thee.

84
My Soul Longs for the Courts of the Lord
To the choirmaster: according to #Ps. 8, title; 81, title The Gittith.#84:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term A Psalm of #Ps. 42, titlethe Sons of Korah.
1How #[Ps. 27:4] lovely is your #Ps. 43:3; 132:5dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
2My soul #[Ps. 42:1, 2; 63:1] longs, yes, #[Ps. 73:26; 119:81; 143:6; Job 19:27] faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to #See Ps. 42:2the living God.
3Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
#
Ps. 5:2
my King and my God.
4 # See Ps. 65:4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever #Ps. 42:5, 11; 43:5singing your praise! Selah
5Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
# [Ps. 122:1] in whose heart are the highways to Zion.#84:5 Hebrew lacks to Zion
6As they go through the Valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs;
#
Joel 2:23 the early rain also covers it with #Ezek. 34:26pools.
7They go #Prov. 4:18; Isa. 40:31; [John 1:16; 2 Cor. 3:18] from strength to strength;
each one #See Ps. 42:2appears before God in Zion.
8O #See Ps. 59:5Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 #
Ps. 80:14 Behold our #See Ps. 3:3shield, O God;
look on the face of your anointed!
10For a day #ver. 2 in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be #1 Chr. 26:19a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11For the Lord God is #Isa. 60:19, 20; See Ps. 27:1; Mal. 4:2; Rev. 21:23 a sun and #[See ver. 9 above] shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor.
#
Ps. 85:12; [Ps. 34:9, 10; Matt. 6:33; 7:11] No good thing does he withhold
from those who #Ps. 15:2; Prov. 2:7walk uprightly.
12O Lord of hosts,
# See Ps. 2:12 blessed is the one who trusts in you!
