Psalms 84

1 The prophet longing for the communion of the sanctuary, 4 sheweth how blessed they are that dwell therein. 8 He prayeth to be restored unto it.

 84:1 ¶ [[For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.]] How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!

 84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

 84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, My King, and my God.

 84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. Selah.

 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways [to Zion].

 84:6 Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

 84:7 They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

 84:8 O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

 84:9 Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.

 84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

 84:11 For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

 84:12 O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
