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. |
