psalms 84
1 - How lovely are your dwellings,The LORD of Armies!
2 - My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of The LORD.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, the LORD of Hosts, my King, and my God.
4 - Blessed are those who dwell in your house.They are always praising you.Selah.
5 - Blessed are those 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 - The LORD, God of Armies, 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 the LORD God is a sun and a shield.The LORD will give grace and glory.He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 - The LORD of Armies,blessed is the man who trusts in you.
