Psalm 84:1-12
How lovely is your
dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of
the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
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.
Blessed are those who
dwell in you house, ever singing your praise!
Blessed are those whose
strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion
As they go through the Valley of Baca
They go from strength to
strength; each one appears before God in Zion
O Lord God of hosts, hear
my prayer give ear, O God of Jacob!
Behold our shield, O God;
look on the face of your anointed!
For a day in you 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.
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.
O Lord of hosts, blessed
is the one who trusts in You!
