1 To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. 2 \84:1\How dear are your tents, O Lord of armies!3 \84:2\The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.4 \84:3\The little birds have places for themselves, where they may put their young, even your altars, O Lord of armies, my King and my God.5 \84:4\Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah.)6 \84:5\Happy is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways to Zion.7 \84:6\Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.8 \84:7\They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.9 \84:8\O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah.)10 \84:9\O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.11 \84:10\For a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.12 \84:11\The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.13 \84:12\O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.

1 [To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.] How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living *God.3 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she layeth her young, thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God.4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be constantly praising thee. Selah.5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, -they, in whose heart are the highways.6 Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a well-spring; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.7 They go from strength to strength: {each one} will appear before God in Zion.8 Jehovah, 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 stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.11 For Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.12 Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that confideth in thee!
