Psalm 84
The Blessedness of Dwelling in the House of God
To the Chief Musician. aOn 1An Instrument of Gath. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1 How blovely 2is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!
2 cMy soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your dhouse;
They will still be praising You.
Selah
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley eof 3Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with 4pools.
7 They go ffrom strength to strength;
5Each one gappears before God in Zion.
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob!
Selah
9 hO God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your 6anointed.
10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather 7be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is ia sun and jshield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
kNo good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.
lBlessed is the man who trusts in You!
