| Chapter 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, and even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. |
3 | Yes, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thy 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 thy anointed. |
10 | For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a door-keeper 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 will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. |
12 | O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. |
