Psalm 84

Revised Version 1895

For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORDH3068; my heart and my flesh cry outH4100 unto the living GodH3068.

3Yea, the sparrow hath foundH1571 herH413 an house, and the swallow a nest for herselfH5315, whereH413 sheH3820 may lay herH413 young, evenH1571 thine altars, O LORDH3068 of hosts, my King, and my GodH410.

4Blessed are they that dwell in thy houseH1004: they will be stillH1571 praising thee. Selah

5BlessedH835 is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

6Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

7They goH5674 from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

8O LORD GodH430 of hosts, hear my prayer: giveH7200 ear, O GodH430 of Jacob. Selah

9Behold, O GodH430 our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my GodH430, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11For the LORD GodH430 is a sun and a shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no goodH2896 thingH3588 will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12O LORDH3068 of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
