# Chapter 84
|
|
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
|
|
Lord of Armies.
|
|
2 I long and yearn
|
|
for the courts of the Lord;
|
|
my heart and flesh cry out for the living God.
|
|
3 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.
|
|
4 How happy are those who reside in your house,
|
|
who praise you continually. Selah
|
|
5 Happy are the people whose strength is in you,
|
|
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
|
|
6 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.
|
|
7 They go from strength to strength;
|
|
each appears before God in Zion.
|
|
8 Lord God of Armies, hear my prayer;
|
|
listen, God of Jacob. Selah
|
|
9 Consider our shield, God;
|
|
look on the face of your anointed one.
|
|
10 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.
|
|
11 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.
|
|
12 Happy is the person who trusts in you,
|
|
Lord of Armies! |
