Bible Text

Psalm 84 (ESV)

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

¹ How lovely is your dwelling place,

    O Lord of hosts!

² My soul longs, yes, faints

    for the courts of the Lord;

  my heart and flesh sing for joy

    to the living God.

³ Even the sparrow finds a home,

    and the swallow a nest for herself,

    where she may lay her young,

  at your altars, O Lord of hosts,

    my King and my God.

⁴ Blessed are those who dwell in your house,

    ever singing your praise! Selah

⁵ Blessed are those whose strength is in you,

    in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

⁶ As they go through the Valley of Baca

    they make it a place of springs;

    the early rain also covers it with pools.

⁷ They go from strength to strength;

    each one appears before God in Zion.

⁸ O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;

    give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah

⁹ Behold our shield, O God;

    look on the face of your anointed!

¹⁰ For a day in your courts is better

    than a thousand elsewhere.

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

    than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹ For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

    the Lord bestows favor and honor.

   No good thing does he withhold

    from those who walk uprightly.

¹² O Lord of hosts,

    blessed is the one who trusts in you!
