Psalm 84
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1 HOW amiable _are_ thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! ^1
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. ^2
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, _even_ thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. ^3
4 Blessed _are_ they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. ^4
5 Blessed _is_ the man whose strength _is_ in thee; in whose heart _are_ the ways _of_ _them_. ^5
6 _Who_ passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. ^6
7 They go from strength to strength, _every_ _one_ _of_ _them_ in Zion appeareth before God. ^7
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. ^8
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. ^9
10 For a day in thy 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. ^10
11 For the LORD God _is_ a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good _thing_ will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. ^11
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed _is_ the man that trusteth in thee. ^12
