Psalms 84

Psalm 84 ESV

1The Psalmist longing for the temple worship, 4sheweth the blessedness of attending thereupon: 8he prayeth to be restored to it.
To the choirmaster: according to 1The Gittith.a A Psalm of 2the Sons of Korah.
1 How 1lovely is your 2dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul 1longs, yes, 2faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to 3the living God.
3 Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Lord of hosts, 1my King and my God.
4 1Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever 2singing your praise! Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, 1in whose heart are the highways to Zion.a
6 As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; 1the early rain also covers it with 2pools.
7 They go 1from strength to strength; each one 2appears before God in Zion.
8 O 1Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 1Behold our 2shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!
10 For a day 1in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be 2a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is 1a sun and 2shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. 3No good thing does he withhold from those who 4walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts, 1blessed is the one who trusts in you!
