Psalm 84

PSALM 84

Blessed Is the Man Who Trusts in You

For the choir director. According to the ^†Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.

¹How lovely are Your ^adwelling places,

O Yahweh of hosts!

²My ^asoul has longed and even ¹fainted for the courts of Yahweh;

My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the ^bliving God.

³Even the bird has found a home,

And the swallow a nest for herself, where she sets her young,

At Your ^aaltars, O Yahweh of hosts,

^bMy King and my God.

⁴How ^ablessed are those who dwell in Your house!

They are ^bever praising You. ¹Selah.

⁵How blessed is the man whose ^astrength is in You,

In ¹whose heart are the ^bhighways to Zion!

⁶Passing through the valley of ¹Baca they make it a ²spring;

The ^aearly rain also wraps it up with blessings.

⁷They ^ago from strength to strength,

¹Each one of them ^bappears before God in Zion.

⁸O ^aYahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer;

Give ear, O ^bGod of Jacob! Selah.

⁹See our ^ashield, O God,

And look upon the face of ^bYour anointed.

¹⁰For ^abetter is a day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere.

I would choose to stand at the threshold of the house of my God

Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹For Yahweh God is ^aa sun and ^bshield;

Yahweh gives grace and ^cglory;

^dNo good thing does He withhold ¹from those who walk blamelessly.

¹²O Yahweh of hosts,

How ^ablessed is the man who trusts in You!
