Psalms 84

Psalm 84

Longing for the Temple Worship.

¹How lovely are Your dwelling places, Lord of armies!

²My soul longed and even yearned for the courtyards of the Lord; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

³The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may put her young: Your altars, Lord of armies, My King and my God.

⁴Blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah

⁵¶Blessed is the person whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the roads to Zion!

⁶Passing through the Valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also covers it with blessings.

⁷They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

⁸¶Lord God of armies, hear my prayer; Listen, God of Jacob! Selah

⁹See our shield, God, And look at the face of Your anointed.

¹⁰For a day in Your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than live in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.

¹²Lord of armies, Blessed is the person who trusts in You!
