Psalms 84

1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Yahweh of hosts!

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Yahweh: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living El.

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Yahweh of hosts, my King, and my Elohim.

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 Elohim.

8 O Yahweh Elohim of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O Elohim of Jacob. Selah.

9 Behold, O Elohim 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 Elohim, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For Yahweh Elohim is a sun and shield: Yahweh will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 O Yahweh of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
