Psalm 84
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. How lovely is your dwelling place,
|
|
O LORD of Heaven's Armies.
|
|
|
|
2. I long, yes, I faint with longing
|
|
to enter the courts of the LORD.
|
|
|
|
With my whole being, body and soul,
|
|
|
|
I will shout joyfully to the living God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Even the sparrow finds a home,
|
|
|
|
and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young
|
|
at a place near your altar,
|
|
O LORD of Heaven's Armies, my King and my God!
|
|
|
|
4. What joy for those who can live in your house,
|
|
|
|
always singing your praises. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. What joy for those whose strength comes from the LORD,
|
|
|
|
who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. When they walk through the Valley of Weeping,
|
|
|
|
it will become a place of refreshing springs.
|
|
|
|
The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. They will continue to grow stronger,
|
|
and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
8. O LORD God of Heaven's Armies, hear my prayer.
|
|
|
|
Listen, O God of Jacob. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. O God, look with favor upon the king, our shield!
|
|
|
|
Show favor to the one you have anointed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. A single day in your courts
|
|
|
|
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
|
|
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
|
|
|
|
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. For the LORD God is our sun and our shield.
|
|
|
|
He gives us grace and glory.
|
|
The LORD will withhold no good thing
|
|
|
|
from those who do what is right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. O LORD of Heaven's Armies,
|
|
|
|
what joy for those who trust in you.
