Psalm 84<\/p>\n
My Soul Longs for the Courts of the Lord<\/p>\n
To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. [1] A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.<\/p>\n
84:1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
\n O Lord of hosts!
\nMy soul longs, yes, faints
\n for the courts of the Lord;
\nmy heart and flesh sing for joy
\n to the living God.<\/p>\n
Even the sparrow finds a home,
\n and the swallow a nest for herself,
\n where she may lay her young,
\nat your altars, O Lord of hosts,
\n my King and my God.
\nBlessed are those who dwell in your house,
\n ever singing your praise! Selah<\/p>\n
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
\n in whose heart are the highways to Zion. [2]
\nAs they go through the Valley of Baca
\n they make it a place of springs;
\n the early rain also covers it with pools.
\nThey go from strength to strength;
\n each one appears before God in Zion.<\/p>\n
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
\n give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
\nBehold our shield, O God;
\n look on the face of your anointed!<\/p>\n
For a day in your courts is better
\n than a thousand elsewhere.
\nI would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
\n than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
\nFor the Lord God is a sun and shield;
\n the Lord bestows favor and honor.
\nNo good thing does he withhold
\n from those who walk uprightly.
\nO Lord of hosts,
\n blessed is the one who trusts in you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
