Psalms 84

1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O YHWH of hosts!

2 My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of YHWH: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living El.

3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O YHWH of hosts, my King, and my Elohim.

4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

7 They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before Elohim.

8 O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.

O YHWH Elohim of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O Elohim of Jacob. (Selah)

9 Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.

Behold, O Elohim our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 For 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.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Elohim, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.

For YHWH Elohim is a sun and shield: YHWH will give favour and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!

O YHWH of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
