Psalm 84  American Standard Version

84 How ^[a]amiable are thy tabernacles,
O Jehovah of hosts!
² My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah;
My heart and my flesh ^[b]cry out unto the living God.
³ Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even thine altars, O Jehovah 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 highways to Zion.
⁶ Passing through the valley of ^[c]Weeping they make it a place of springs;
Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.
⁷ They go from strength to strength;
Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
⁸ O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
^9 [d]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 ^[e]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
¹¹ For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield:
Jehovah will give grace and glory;
No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
¹² O Jehovah of hosts,
Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
