Psalm 84 (WEBP)

[1] How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies!
[2] My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
[3] Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.
[4] Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.
[5] Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
[6] Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
[7] They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
[8] Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.
[9] Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
[10] For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
[11] For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
[12] Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Psalm 84 (KJVS)

[1] How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
[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 make it a well; The rain also filleth the pools.
[7] They go from strength to 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 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.
