Psalm 84

¹For the director of music. According to gittith. [156] Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. [1] How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty!

²My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

³Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young — a place near your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God.

⁴Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. [157]

⁵Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

⁶As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. [158]

⁷They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.

⁸Hear my prayer, LORD God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob.

⁹Look on our shield, [159] O God; look with favor on your anointed one.

¹⁰Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

¹¹For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

¹² LORD Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.
