      Psalm 84 (Listen)

      My Soul Longs for the Courts of the Lord

      To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.1 A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

      84:1   How lovely is your dwelling place,
          O LORD of hosts!
      2   My soul longs, yes, faints
          for the courts of the LORD;
        my heart and flesh sing for joy
          to the living God.
      3   Even the sparrow finds a home,
          and the swallow a nest for herself,
          where she may lay her young,
        at your altars, O LORD of hosts,
          my King and my God.
      4   Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
          ever singing your praise! Selah
      5   Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
          in whose heart are the highways to Zion.2
      6   As they go through the Valley of Baca
          they make it a place of springs;
          the early rain also covers it with pools.
      7   They go from strength to strength;
          each one appears before God in Zion.
      8   O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
          give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
      9   Behold our shield, O God;
          look on the face of your anointed!
      10   For a day in your courts is better
          than a thousand elsewhere.
        I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
          than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
      11   For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
          the LORD bestows favor and honor.
        No good thing does he withhold
          from those who walk uprightly.
      12   O LORD of hosts,
          blessed is the one who trusts in you!
