Psalm 84:1 - 12

1

How lovely are Your dwelling places,

Lord of armies!

2 

My soul longed and even yearned for the courtyards 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 put her young:

Your altars, Lord of armies,

My King and my God.

4 

Blessed are those who dwell in Your house!

They are ever praising You. Selah

5 

Blessed is the person whose strength is in You,

In whose heart are the roads to Zion!

6 

Passing through the Valley of Baca they make it a [d]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 

Lord God of armies, hear my prayer;

Listen, God of Jacob! Selah

9 

See our shield, God,

And look at the face of Your anointed.

10 

For a day in Your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere.

I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God

Than live in the tents of wickedness.

11 

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

The Lord gives grace and glory;

He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.

12 

Lord of armies,

Blessed is the person who trusts in You!
