Psalms 84
|
To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.How dear are your tents, O Lord of armies! | For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts! |
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. | My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God. |
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. | Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, My King, and my God. |
Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah.) | Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. Selah |
Happy is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways to Zion. | Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways [to Zion]. |
Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain. | Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings. |
They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion. | They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion. |
O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah.) | O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah |
O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king. | Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed. |
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. | 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. |
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. | For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. |
O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you. | O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. |
