| The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000. | | The Psalms | | 84 |
Longing for God's House |
| To the chief Musician upon Git'tith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. |
|
| 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 a 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.
|
