Psalms 84 / 150
- 1How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty!
- 2My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD ; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
- 3Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young- a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
- 4Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Selah
- 5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
- 6As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
- 7They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
- 8Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob. Selah
- 9Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
- 10Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
- 11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
- 12O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
