Psalms 084
For the Chief Musician. On an instrument
of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
1 How lovely are your dwellings,
Yahweh of Armies!
2 My soul longs, and even faints for the
courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the
living God.
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 Armies,
my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your
house. They are always praising you.
Selah.
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in
you, who have settheir hearts on a pilgrimage.
6 Passing through the valley of Weeping,
they make it a place of springs.
Yes, the autumn rain covers it with
blessings.
7 They go from strength to strength.
Every one of them appears before God
in Zion.
8 Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer.
Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, God our shield,
look at the face of your anointed.
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.
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.
12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
