Psalm 84
For the choir director; on the gittith; a psalm by Korah’s descendants.
1Your dwelling place is lovely, O Lord of Armies!
2My soul longs and yearns
for the Lord’s courtyards.
My whole body shouts for joy to the living God.
3Even sparrows find a home,
and swallows find a nest for themselves.
There they hatch their young
near your altars, O Lord of Armies, my king and my God.
4Blessed are those who live in your house.
They are always praising you. Selah
5Blessed are those who find strength in you.
Their hearts are on the road ⌞that leads to you⌟.
6As they pass through a valley where balsam trees grow,#84:6 Or “As they pass through the valley of Weeping.”
they make it a place of springs.
The early rains cover it with blessings.#84:6 Or “pools.”
7Their strength grows as they go along
until each one of them appears
in front of God in Zion.
8O Lord God, commander of armies, hear my prayer.
Open your ears, O God of Jacob. Selah
9Look at our shield, O God.
Look with favor on the face of your anointed one.
10One day in your courtyards is better than a thousand ⌞anywhere else⌟.
I would rather stand in the entrance to my God’s house
than live inside wicked people’s homes.
11The Lord God is a sun and shield.
The Lord grants favor and honor.
He does not hold back any blessing
from those who live innocently.
12O Lord of Armies, blessed is the person who trusts you.

Psalm 84
84
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD:
My heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:
They will be still praising thee. Selah.
5Blessed is the man whose strength is
in thee; In whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;
The rain also filleth the pools.
7They go from strength to strength,
Every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8O LORD God of 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.
I had 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:
The LORD will give grace and glory: No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12O LORD of hosts,
Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
