Psalm 84, NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

How lovely are Your dwelling places,
O LORD of hosts!
 

2

My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
 

3

The bird also has found a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
My King and my God.
 

4

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

5

How blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
In whose heart are the highways to Zion!
 

6

Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.
 

7

They go from strength to strength,
Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
 

8

O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah.
 

9

Behold our shield, O God,
And look upon the face of Your anointed.
 

10

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
 

11

For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD gives grace and glory;
No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
 

12

O LORD of hosts,
How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
