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.

Psalms 84
84
The Joy of Worshiping in the Temple
For the music director; on the Gittith.
Of the sons of Korah. A psalm.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1How lovely are your dwelling places,
O Yahweh of hosts!
2My soul longs and even fails
for the courtyards of Yahweh.
My heart and flesh sing for joy
to the living God.
3Even a bird finds a home, and a swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
near your altars, O Yahweh of hosts,
my king and my God.
4Blessed are those who dwell in your house;#Or “temple”
they can ever praise you. Selah
5Blessed is the man whose strength is in you;
in their heart are the highways to Zion.
6Passing through the Valley of Baca,#Or “Valley of Weeping”
they make it a spring.
The early rain covers it with blessings#A change in vocalization of the Hebrew yields “it with pools” as well.
7They go from strength to strength,
until each appears before God in Zion.#Or “the God of gods will be seen in Zion”
8O Yahweh, God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
9Look at our shield, O God,
and have regard for the face of your anointed one.
10Because better is a day in your courtyards
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be at the threshold of the house#Or “temple” of my God
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11Because Yahweh God is a sun and a shield;
Yahweh gives grace and honor.
He does not withhold good from those who walk blamelessly.
12O Yahweh of hosts,
blessed is the man who trusts you.
