Psalms 84

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

1 How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD of heavenly forces!

2 My very being longs, even yearns, for the LORD's courtyards. My heart and my body will rejoice out loud to the living God!

3 Yes, the sparrow too has found a home there; the swallow has found herself a nest where she can lay her young beside your altars, LORD of heavenly forces, my king, my God!

4 Those who live in your house are truly happy; they praise you constantly. Selah

5 Those who put their strength in you are truly happy; pilgrimage is in their hearts.

6 As they pass through the Baca Valley, they make it a spring of water. Yes, the early rain covers it with blessings.

7 They go from strength to strength, until they see the supreme God in Zion.

8 LORD God of heavenly forces, hear my prayer; listen closely, Jacob's God! Selah

9 Look at our shield, God; pay close attention to the face of your anointed one!

10 Better is a single day in your courtyards than a thousand days anywhere else! I would prefer to stand outside the entrance of my God's house than live comfortably in the tents of the wicked!

11 The LORD is a sun and shield; God is favor and glory. The LORD gives—doesn't withhold!—good things to those who walk with integrity.

12 LORD of heavenly forces, those who trust in you are truly happy!

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.
