To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

1.How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!^84-1

2.My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

3.Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

4.Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

5.Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

6.Who passing through the valley of Baca^84-2 make it a well; the rain also filleth^84-3 the pools.

7.They go from strength to^84-4 strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

8.O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

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

10.For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had^84-5 rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11.For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

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

Psalm 84
