Psalms 84

^{PSALMS 84}

¹ How lovely is your dwelling place,

O LORD Almighty!

² My soul yearns, even faints,

for the courts of the LORD;

my heart and my flesh cry out

for the living God.

³ Even the sparrow has found a home,

and the swallow a nest for herself,

where she may have her young—

a place near your altar,

O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.

⁴ Blessed are those who dwell in your house;

they are ever praising you.

Selah

⁵ Blessed are those whose strength is in you,

who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.

⁶ As they pass through the Valley of Baca,

they make it a place of springs;

the autumn rains also cover it with pools. ^{b]" style=" line-height: 0.5em; ">[b]}

⁷ They go from strength to strength,

till each appears before God in Zion.

⁸ Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty;

listen to me, O God of Jacob.

Selah

⁹ Look upon our shield, ^{c]" style=" line-height: 0.5em; ">[c]} O God;

look with favor on your anointed one.

¹⁰ Better is one day in your courts

than a thousand elsewhere;

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God

than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

¹¹ For the LORD God is a sun and shield;

the LORD bestows favor and honor;

no good thing does he withhold

from those whose walk is blameless.

¹² O LORD Almighty,

blessed is the man who trusts in you.

There's no reason to fear for tomorrow =)
