Psalm 84:1-12 1  How lovely is Your tabernacle, O LORD of hosts!
2  My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3  Even the sparrow has found a home, 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  Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You. Selah

5  Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6  As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools.
7  They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion.
8  O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah

9  O God, behold our shield, And look upon the face of Your anointed.
10  For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than 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 those who walk uprightly.
12  O LORD of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
