PsalmsPsalm 84 |
|
1 HOW amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! |
|
2 My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh give praise for the living God. |
|
3 Yea, even the sparrow has found a house, and the pigeon a nest for herself, where they have raised their young beside thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. |
|
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they shall praise thee for ever. |
|
5 Blessed is the man whose help is from thee; in whose heart are thy ways. |
|
6 They have passed through the valley of weeping, and have made it a dwelling place; the Lawgiver shall cover it with blessings; |
|
7 They shall go from strength to strength; the God of gods shall be seen in Zion. |
|
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. |
|
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. |
|
10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I would choose rather to dwell in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of the wicked. |
|
11 For the LORD God is our supply and our helper; the LORD will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. |
|
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in thee. |
