PSALM 84
The Blessedness of Dwelling in the House of God
To the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath.[fn] A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 How lovely is Your tabernacle,
​​O LORD of hosts!
2 ​​My soul longs, yes, even faints
​​For the courts of the LORD;
​​My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
​
3 ​​Even the sparrow has found a home,
​​And the swallow a nest for herself,
​​Where she may lay her young—
​​Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
​​My King and my God.
4 ​​Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;
​​They will still be praising You. Selah
​
5 ​​Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
​​Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6 ​​As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
​​They make it a spring;
​​The rain also covers it with pools.
7 ​​They go from strength to strength;
​​Each one appears before God in Zion.[fn]
​
8 ​​O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
​​Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 ​​O God, behold our shield,
​​And look upon 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 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 those who walk uprightly.
​
12 ​​O LORD of hosts,
​​Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
