| Chapter 84
|
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. |
