Psalms 84:5-12

5BlessedH835 is the manH120 whose strengthH5797 is in thee; in whose heartH3824 are the waysH4546 of them.

6Who passingH5674 through the valleyH6010 of BacaH1057 H1056 makeH7896 it a wellH4599; the rainH4175 also fillethH5844 the poolsH1293.1 2

7They goH3212 from strengthH2428 to strengthH2428, every one of them in ZionH6726 appearethH7200 before GodH430.3

8O YhwhH3068 GodH430 of ArmiesH6635, hearH8085 my prayerH8605: give earH238, O GodH430 of JacobH3290. SelahH5542.

9BeholdH7200, O GodH430 our shieldH4043, and lookH5027 upon the faceH6440 of thine anointedH4899.

10For a dayH3117 in thy courtsH2691 is betterH2896 than a thousandH505. I had ratherH977 be a doorkeeperH5605 in the houseH1004 of my GodH430, than to dwellH1752 in the tentsH168 of wickednessH7562.4

11For YhwhH3068 GodH430 is a sunH8121 and shieldH4043: YhwhH3068 will giveH5414 graceH2580 and gloryH3519: no goodH2896 thing will he withholdH4513 from them that walkH1980 uprightlyH8549.

12O YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, blessedH835 is the manH120 that trustethH982 in thee.
