Chapter 84

1


 

  To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.
How dear are your tents, O Lord of armies!  

 

 

--

2


 

  The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.  

 

 

--

3


 

  The little birds have places for themselves, where they may put their young, even your altars, O Lord of armies, my King and my God.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah.)  

 

 

--

5


 

  Happy is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways to Zion.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.  

 

 

--

7


 

  They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.  

 

 

--

8


 

  O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah.)  

 

 

--

9


 

  O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.  

 

 

--

10


 

  For a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.  

 

 

--

11


 

  The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.  

 

 

--

12


 

  O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.
