Psalms 84
84
Psalm 84#In Hebrew texts 84:1-12 is numbered 84:2-13.
For the director of music. According to gittith.#Title: Probably a musical term Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
1How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!
2My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
4Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.#84:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 8.
5Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.#84:6 Or blessings
7They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.
8Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
9Look on our shield,#84:9 Or sovereign O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
10Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
12 Lord Almighty,
blessed is the one who trusts in you.

Psalm 84
84
1 Unto the end. A Psalm to the sons of Korah.
2 O Lord, you have blessed your land. You have turned aside the captivity of Jacob.
3 You have released the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sins.
4 You have mitigated all your wrath. You have turned aside from the wrath of your indignation.
5 Convert us, O God, our Savior, and turn your anger away from us.
6 Will you be angry with us forever? And will you extend your wrath from generation to generation?
7 O God, you will turn back and revive us. And your people will rejoice in you.
8 O Lord, reveal to us your mercy, and grant to us your salvation.
9 I will listen to what the Lord God may be saying to me. For he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those who are being converted to the heart.
10 So then, truly his salvation is near to those who fear him, so that glory may inhabit our land.
11 Mercy and truth have met each other. Justice and peace have kissed.
12 Truth has risen from the earth, and justice has gazed down from heaven.
13 For so will the Lord give goodness, and our earth will give her fruit.
14 Justice will walk before him, and he will set his steps upon the way.
