Psalms 84

1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!⋮

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.⋮

3 Yea, 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.⋮

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.⋮

5 Blessed 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.⋮

7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.⋮

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.⋮

9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.⋮

10 For 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.⋮

11 For 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.⋮

12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.⋮
