Psalms 84

Longing for the Temple Worship.

For the choir director; ^{▼▼ Or according to}on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 How lovely are Your ^bdwelling places,
O Lord of hosts!
2 My ^csoul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the ^dliving God.
3 The bird also has found a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even Your ^ealtars, O Lord of hosts,
^fMy King and my God.
4 How ^gblessed are those who dwell in Your house!
They are ^hever praising You. ^{▼▼ Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude}Selah.

5 How blessed is the man whose ^jstrength is in You,
In ^{▼▼ Lit their}whose heart are the ^lhighways to Zion!
6 Passing through the valley of ^{▼▼ Probably, Weeping; or Balsam trees}Baca they make it a ^{▼▼ Or place of springs}spring;
The ^oearly rain also covers it with blessings.
7 They ^pgo from strength to strength,
^{▼▼ Some ancient versions read The God of gods will be seen in Zion} Every one of them ^rappears before God in Zion.

8 O ^sLord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O ^tGod of Jacob! Selah.
9 Behold our ^ushield, O God,
And look upon the face of ^vYour anointed.
10 For ^wa day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is ^xa sun and ^yshield;
The Lord gives grace and ^zglory;
^aaNo good thing does He withhold ^{▼▼ Lit with regard to}from those who walk ^{▼▼ Lit with integrity}uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts,
How ^adblessed is the man who trusts in You!
