Psalms 84

For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! ✦

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. ✦

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. ✦

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. ✦

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. ✦

6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. ✦

7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. ✦

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. ✦

9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. ✦

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. ✦

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. ✦

12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. ✦
