THE BIBLE

Psalms
Chapter 84


84:1  For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Hosts!

84:2  My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

84:3  Yes, the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, Near your altars, Yahweh of Hosts, my King, and my God.

84:4  Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.

84:5  Blessed are those whose strength is in you; Who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

84:6  Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

84:7  They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.

84:8  Yahweh, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.

84:9  Behold, God our shield, Look at the face of your anointed.

84:10  For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

84:11  For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

84:12  Yahweh of Hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in you.
