Psalm 84

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.

1 For the leader. On the gittit. A psalm of the sons of Korach: How deeply loved are your dwelling-places, ADONAI-Tzva'ot!

2 My soul yearns, yes, faints with longing for the courtyards of ADONAI; my heart and body cry for joy to the living God.

3 As the sparrow finds herself a home and the swallow her nest, where she lays her young, [so my resting-place is] by your altars, ADONAI-Tzva'ot, my king and my God.

4 How happy are those who live in your house; they never cease to praise you! (Selah)

5 How happy the man whose strength is in you, in whose heart are [pilgrim] highways.

6 Passing through the [dry] Baka Valley, they make it a place of springs, and the early rain clothes it with blessings.

7 They go from strength to strength and appear before God in Tziyon.

8 ADONAI, God of armies, hear my prayer; listen, God of Ya'akov. (Selah)

9 God, see our shield [the king]; look at the face of your anointed.

10 Better a day in your courtyards than a thousand [days elsewhere]. Better just standing at the door of my God's house than living in the tents of the wicked.

11 For ADONAI, God, is a sun and a shield; ADONAI bestows favor and honor; he will not withhold anything good from those whose lives are pure.

12 ADONAI-Tzva'ot, how happy is anyone who trusts in you!
