Psalm 84:1-12
(Of the Director; to the Gittith; of the sons of Korah; a psalm.)
84 How lovable your dwelling-places are,Jehovah of Armies!
2 My soul yearns, yes, breaks down with its eagerness for Jehovah’s courts;my heart and flesh shout toward living Deity.
3 Even a little bird has found a house,and a swallow a nest for herself,That has placed her brood by your altars,Jehovah of Armies, my King and my God.
4 Happy those who live at your house;they will keep praising you. (Selah)
5 Happy are men who have strength in you,who have highways at heart,
6 Those who pass through Baca Valemaking it a region of springs,even pools that fall rain overspreads.
7 They go on from good times to good times;Deity, God, is to be seen at Sion.
8 Jehovah, God, Armies, hear my prayer; [Selah]give ear, God of Jacob:
9 See our shield, God,and look at the face of your anointed.
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand;I had rather be at the threshold of the house of my Godthan lodge in tents of wickedness.
11 For our God Jehovah is a sun and shield;Jehovah will give grace and glory,will not withhold good from those who go by a good conscience.
12 Jehovah of Armies,happy the man that puts confidence in you.
