Psalm 84

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

¹How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!

²My soul longs, yes, faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to the living God.

³Even 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,
my King and my God.

⁴ Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever singing your praise!

Selah

⁵Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

⁶As they go through the Valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs;
the early rain also covers it with pools.

⁷They go from strength to strength;
each one appears before God in Zion.

⁸O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob!

Selah

⁹ Behold our shield, O God;
look on the face of your anointed!

¹⁰For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does he withhold
from those who walk uprightly.

¹²O Lord of hosts,
blessed is the one who trusts in you!
