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!
