Psalms 84:1-9

¹“For the leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” How lovely are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

²My soul longeth, yea, fainteth, for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry aloud for the living God.

³The very sparrow findeth an abode, And the swallow a nest, where they may lay their young, By thine altars, O LORD of hosts, My king and my God!

⁴Happy they who dwell in thy house, Who are continually praising thee! Pause.

⁵Happy the man whose glory is in thee, In whose heart are the ways to Jerusalem!

⁶Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a fountain; and the early rain covereth it with blessings.

⁷They go on from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

⁸Hear my prayer, O LORD, God of hosts! Give ear, O God of Jacob! Pause.

⁹Look down, O God! our shield, And behold the face of thine anointed!
