New Living Translation

New King James Version

Psalms 84

For the choir director: A psalm of the descendants of Korah, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument.a

How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

The Blessedness of Dwelling in the House of God

To the Chief Musician. On[a] an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

How lovely [b]is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!

I long, yes, I faint with longing
to enter the courts of the LORD.
With my whole being, body and soul,
I will shout joyfully to the living God.

My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young
at a place near your altar,
O LORD of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God!

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.

What joy for those who can live in your house,
always singing your praises.
Interlude

Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;
They will still be praising You. Selah

What joy for those whose strength comes from the LORD,
who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

When they walk through the Valley of Weeping,b
it will become a place of refreshing springs.
The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings.

As they pass through the Valley of [c]Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with [d]pools.

They will continue to grow stronger,
and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem.c

They go from strength to strength;
[e]Each one appears before God in Zion.

O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, hear my prayer.
Listen, O God of Jacob.
Interlude

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

O God, look with favor upon the king, our shield!
Show favor to the one you have anointed.

O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your [f]anointed.

A single day in your courts
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather [g]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the LORD God is our sun and our shield.
He gives us grace and glory.
The LORD will withhold no good thing
from those who do what is right.

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.

O LORD of Heaven’s Armies,
what joy for those who trust in you.

O Lord of hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
