Psalms 84

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Your dwelling place is lovely, O LORD of Armies!

2 My soul longs and yearns for the LORD's courtyards. My whole body shouts for joy to the living God.

3 Even sparrows find a home, and swallows find a nest for themselves. There they hatch their young near your altars, O LORD of Armies, my king and my God.

4 Blessed are those who live in your house. They are always praising you. Selah

5 Blessed are those who find strength in you. Their hearts are on the road [that leads to you].

6 As they pass through a valley where balsam trees grow, they make it a place of springs. The early rains cover it with blessings.

7 Their strength grows as they go along until each one of them appears in front of God in Zion.

8 O LORD God, commander of armies, hear my prayer. Open your ears, O God of Jacob. Selah

9 Look at our shield, O God. Look with favor on the face of your anointed one.

10 One day in your courtyards is better than a thousand [anywhere else]. I would rather stand in the entrance to my God's house than live inside wicked people's homes.

11 The LORD God is a sun and shield. The LORD grants favor and honor. He does not hold back any blessing from those who live innocently.

12 O LORD of Armies, blessed is the person who trusts you.

New International Version NIV

1 How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty!

2 My soul yearns, 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 have her young— a place near your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.

8 Hear my prayer, LORD God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob.

9 Look on our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.

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.

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.

12 LORD Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.
