Psalm 84:1–85:13

^1*How ^aamiable are ^bthy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

^2cMy soul longeth, yea, even ^dfainteth for ^ethe courts of the Lord:

My heart and my flesh crieth out for ^fthe living God.

³Yea, the ^gsparrow hath found an house,

And the ^gswallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,

Even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, ^hmy King, and my God.

⁴ⁱBlessed are they that dwell in thy house:

They ^kwill be still praising thee. Selah.

⁵Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;

In whose heart are ^lthe ways of them.

⁶Who passing through the valley ^||of Baca make it a well;

The ^mrain also ^†nfilleth the pools.

⁷They go ^||ofrom strength to strength,

Every one of them in Zion ^pappeareth before God.

^8qO Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer:

Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

^9rBehold, O God our ^sshield,

And look upon the face of ^tthine anointed.

¹⁰For a day in ^ethy courts is better than a thousand.

^†I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,

Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹For the Lord God is ^ua sun and ^sshield:

The Lord will give grace and glory:

^xNo good thing will he withhold from them that ^ywalk uprightly.

¹²O Lord of hosts,

^zBlessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Psalm 85

To the chief Musician, A Psalm ^||for the sons of Korah.

¹Lord, thou hast been ^||Favourable unto thy land:

Thou hast ^abrought back the captivity of Jacob.

²Thou hast ^bforgiven the iniquity of thy people,

Thou hast ^bcovered all their sin. Selah.

³Thou hast taken away all thy wrath:

^||Thou hast ^cturned ^dthyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

^4eTurn us, O God of our salvation,

^fAnd cause thine anger toward us to cease.

^5gWilt thou be angry with us for ever?

Wilt thou ^hdraw out thine anger to all generations?

⁶Wilt thou not ⁱrevive us again:

That ^jthy people may rejoice in thee?

⁷Shew us thy mercy, O Lord,

And grant us thy salvation.

^8kI will hear what God the Lord will speak:

For ^lhe will speak peace unto his people, and to ^mhis saints:

But let them not ⁿturn again to ^ofolly.

⁹Surely ^phis salvation is nigh them that fear him;

That ^qglory may dwell in our land.

^10rMercy and truth ^rrare met together;

^sRighteousness and ^stpeace have kissed each other.

¹¹Truth shall ^uspring out of the earth;

And ^urighteousness shall look down from heaven.

¹²Yea, ^xthe Lord shall give that which is good;

And ^your land shall yield her increase.

^13zRighteousness shall go before him;

And shall set us in the way of his steps.
