Chapter 84 |
| 1 | How amiable
are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! |
| 2 | My soul longeth, yea, even
fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the
living God. |
| 3
| Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a
nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of
hosts, my King, and my God. |
|
4 | Blessed are they that dwell in thy
house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. |
| 5 | Blessed is the
man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. |
| 6 |
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth
the pools. |
| 7
| They go from strength to strength, every one of them in
Zion appeareth before God. |
|
8 | O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer:
give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. |
| 9 | Behold, O God our shield, and
look upon the face of thine anointed. |
| 10 | For a day in thy courts is
better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. |
|
11 | For the LORD God is a sun
and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold
from them that walk uprightly. |
| 12 | O LORD of hosts, blessed is
the man that trusteth in thee. |
