Psalms 84

1The Psalmist longing for the temple worship, 4sheweth the blessedness of attending thereupon: 8he prayeth to be restored to it.


0 To the chief Musician upon aGittith, A Psalm 1for the sons of Korah.

1 HOW b*amiable are cthy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

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

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

4 gBlessed are they that dwell in thy house: they hwill be still praising thee. Selah.

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

6 Who kpassing through the valley 2of Baca make it a well; the rain also 3filleth the pools.

7 They lgo 4from strength to strength, mevery one of them in Zion nappeareth before God.

8 O oLORD God of hosts, phear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

9 Behold, O God our qshield, and look upon the face of rthine anointed.

10 For sa day in thy courts is better than a thousand. 5I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the LORD God is ta sun and ushield: vthe LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 O LORD of hosts, wblessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
