Psalm 84
For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
1 How lovely are your dwellings,
Yehowah of Armies!
2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yehowah.
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living Elohim.
3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young,
near your altars, Yehowah of Armies, my King, and my Elohim.
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.
Everyone of them appears before Elohim in Zion.
8 Yehowah, Elohim of Armies, hear my prayer.
Listen, Elohim of Jacob.
Selah.
9 Behold, Elohim 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 Elohim,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For Yehowah Elohim is a sun and a shield.
Yehowah will give grace and glory.
He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 Yehowah of Armies,
blessed is the man who trusts in you.
