Psalms 84:4-11

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!

¹⁰For a day spent in thy courts is better than a thousand: I would rather stand on the threshold of the house of my God, Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; The LORD giveth grace and glory; No good thing doth he withhold From them that walk uprightly.
