84:1 For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty!
84:2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
84:3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young–a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
84:4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Selah
84:5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
84:6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
84:7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
84:8 Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob. Selah
84:9 Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
84:10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
84:12 O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
84:1 How lovely are Your tabernacles, / O Jehovah of hosts!
84:2 My soul longs, indeed even faints, / For the courts of Jehovah; / My heart and my flesh cry out / To the living God.

84:4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; / They will yet be praising You. Selah
84:5 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; / Indeed the early rain covers it with blessings.
84:7 They go from strength to strength; / Each appears before God in Zion.
84:8 O Jehovah 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; / I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God / Than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
84:11 For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield; / Jehovah gives grace and glory; / He does not withhold anything good / From those who walk uprightly.
84:12 O Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man / Who trusts in You.
