Psalms 84

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 LORD who rules over all, how lovely is the place where you live!

2 I long to be in the courtyards of the LORD's temple. I deeply long to be there. My whole being cries out for the living God.

3 LORD who rules over all, even the sparrow has found a home near your altar. My King and my God, the swallow also has a nest there, where she may have her young.

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

5 Blessed are those whose strength comes from you. They have decided to travel to your temple.

6 As they pass through the dry Valley of Baca, they make it a place where water flows. The rain in the fall covers it with pools.

7 Those people get stronger as they go along, until each of them appears in Zion, where God lives.

8 LORD God who rules over all, hear my prayer. God of the people of Jacob, listen to me. "Selah"

9 God, look with favor on your anointed king. You appointed him to be like a shield that keeps us safe.

10 A single day in your courtyards is better than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather guard the door of the house of my God than live in the tents of sinful people.

11 The LORD God is like the sun that gives us light. He is like a shield that keeps us safe. The LORD blesses us with favor and honor. He doesn't hold back anything good from those whose lives are without blame.

12 LORD who rules over all, blessed is everyone who trusts in 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.
