Psalms 84 [Commentary] [Map]
|
1. |
For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Your dwelling places, O LORD of hosts!
|
2. |
My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
|
3. |
The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, My King and my God.
|
4. |
How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah.
|
5. |
How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion!
|
6. |
Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also covers it with blessings.
|
7. |
They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
|
8. |
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah.
|
9. |
Behold our shield, O God, And look upon the face of Your anointed.
|
10. |
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
|
11. |
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
|
12. |
O LORD of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
