Psalms 84

1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Yahweh of hosts!

2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Yahweh: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

3Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Yahweh of hosts, my King, and my God.

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

5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

8O Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10For 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.

11For Yahweh God is a sun and shield: Yahweh will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12O Yahweh of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
