Psalms Chapter 84

1aTo the choirmaster in singing set to percussion instruments.↑

For the sons of Korah, a Psalm.

1bHow pleasant your tabernacles are,

O Lord of hosts!

2My being longs for,

And even pines for,

The courtyards of the Lord.

My heart and flesh shout out

To the living God.

3Even the bird has found a home,

And the swallow a nest for herself,

Where she lays her brood.

I long for your altars, O Lord of hosts

– My king and my God.

4Happy are those who dwell in your house;

They will repeatedly praise you.

Selah.

5Happy is the man

Whose strength is in you.

There are highways in their hearts.

6Those who pass through the Valley of Baca

Make it a water-source,

Just as the early rain covers it in blessings.

7They go from strength to strength;

He appears before God in Zion.

8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;

Listen, O God of Jacob.

Selah.

9See our shield, O God,

And look at the face of your messiah.

10For a day in your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere.

I would choose to stand as a doorkeeper at the house of my God

Rather than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11For the Lord God is a sun and a shield,

The Lord gives grace and honour;

He does not withhold what is good

From those who walk in integrity.

12O Lord of hosts,

Happy is the man

Who trusts in you.
