84:1 For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Your dwelling places, O LORD of hosts!
84:2 My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
84:3 The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, My King and my God.
84:4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah.
84:5 How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion!
84:6 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also covers it with blessings.
84:7 They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
84:8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah.
84:9 Behold our shield, O God, And look upon the face of Your anointed.
84:10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
84:12 O LORD of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
