Psalms 84:1-7

1 1How lovely are Your 2dwelling places, Lord of armies!2My 3soul longed and even yearned for the courtyards of the Lord; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the 4living God.3The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may put her young: Your 5altars, Lord of armies, 6My King and my God.4 7Blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are 8ever praising You. Selah

5Blessed is the person whose 9strength is in You, In 10whose heart are the 11roads to Zion!6Passing through the Valley of 12Baca they make it a 13spring; The 14early rain also covers it with blessings.7They 15go from strength to strength, 16Every one of them 17appears before God in Zion.
