For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core,
concerning the wine-presses. 84:1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord
of hosts!
84:2 My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my
flesh have exulted in the living god.
84:3 Yea, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest
for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O Lord of
hosts my King, and my God.
84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will praise thee
evermore. Pause.
84:5 Blessed is the man whose help is of thee, O Lord; in his heart he has
purposed to go up
84:6 the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there]
the law-giver will grant blessings.
84:7 They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen
in Sion.
84:8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: hearken, O God of Jacob. Pause.
84:9 Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
84:10 For one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be
an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
84:11 For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the
Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
84:12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in thee. |
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm
for the sons of Korah. 84:1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of
hosts!
84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my
heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for
herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my
King, and my God.
84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising
thee. Selah.
84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the
ways of them.
84:6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also
filleth the pools.
84:7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth
before God.
84:8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
84:9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a
doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and
glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
84:12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. |
