Psalm 84Longing for God's House
|
|
|
|
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!
