The Psalms

Psalm 84

For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

 ^84:1How amiable are thy tabernacles,

 O Jehovah of hosts!

 ^84:2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah;

 My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

 ^84:3Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,

 And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,

 Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts,

 My King, and my God.

 ^84:4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:

 They will be still praising thee.

Selah

 ^84:5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;

 In whose heart are the highways to Zion.

 ^84:6Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs;

 Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

 ^84:7They go from strength to strength;

 Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

 ^84:8O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer;

 Give ear, O God of Jacob.

Selah

 ^84:9Behold, O God our shield,

 And look upon the face of thine anointed.

 ^84:10For 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.

 ^84:11For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield:

 Jehovah will give grace and glory;

 No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

 ^84:12O Jehovah of hosts,

 Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
