Chapter 84
|
1
|
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! |
2
|
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts
of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the
living God. |
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. |
4
|
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will
be still praising thee. Selah. |
5
|
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose
heart are the ways of them. |
6
|
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;
the rain also filleth the pools. |
7
|
They go from strength to strength, every one of them
in Zion appeareth before God. |
8
|
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God
of Jacob. Selah. |
9
|
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of
thine anointed. |
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. |
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. |
12
|
O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in
thee. |
