1.2 KiB
Psalm 84Longing for God's House
-
How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord of Armies.
-
I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh cry out for the living God.
-
Even a sparrow finds a home, and a swallow, a nest for herself where she places her young-- near your altars, Lord of Armies, my King and my God.
-
How happy are those who reside in your house, who praise you continually.Selah
-
Happy are the people whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
-
As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of spring water; even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings.
-
They go from strength to strength; each appears before God in Zion.
Lord God of Armies, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob.Selah
-
Consider our shield, God; look on the face of your anointed one.
-
Better a day in your courts than a thousand anywhere else.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than live in the tents of wicked people.
- For the Lord God is a sun and shield.
The Lord grants favor and honor; he does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity.
- Happy is the person who trusts in you, Lord of Armies!
