AB - Psalms - 84

84:1  How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts!

84:2  My soul longs and faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh have exalted in the living God.

84:3  Yea, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtledove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even Your altars, O Lord of hosts my King, and my God.

84:4  Blessed are they that dwell in Your house; they will praise You forevermore. Pause.

84:5  Blessed is the man whose help is from You, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up

84:6  the Valley of Weeping, to the place which He has appointed, for there the Lawgiver shall grant blessings.

84:7  They shall go from strength to strength; the God of gods shall be seen in Zion.

84:8  O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; hearken, O God of Jacob. Pause.

84:9  Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of Your anointed.

84:10  For one day in Your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.

84:11  For the Lord loves mercy and truth; God will give grace and glory; the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.

84:12  O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in You!
