Psalms 84

¹How I love your Temple, LORD Almighty!

²How I want to be there! I long to be in the LORD's Temple. With my whole being I sing for joy to the living God.

³Even the sparrows have built a nest, and the swallows have their own home; they keep their young near your altars, LORD Almighty, my king and my God.

⁴How happy are those who live in your Temple, always singing praise to you.

⁵How happy are those whose strength comes from you, who are eager to make the pilgrimage to Mount Zion.

⁶As they pass through the dry valley of Baca, it becomes a place of springs; the autumn rain fills it with pools.

⁷They grow stronger as they go; they will see the God of gods on Zion.

⁸Hear my prayer, LORD God Almighty. Listen, O God of Jacob!

⁹Bless our king, O God, the king you have chosen.

¹⁰One day spent in your Temple is better than a thousand anywhere else; I would rather stand at the gate of the house of my God than live in the homes of the wicked.

¹¹The LORD is our protector and glorious king, blessing us with kindness and honor. He does not refuse any good thing to those who do what is right.

¹²LORD Almighty, how happy are those who trust in you!
