| Chapter 84 |
1 |
How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Hosts! --
|
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 Hosts, My King, and my God. --
|
4 |
Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah. --
|
5 |
Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; Who have set their 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. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion. --
|
8 |
Yahweh, God of hosts, 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 Hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in you. Psalm 85 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. --
