# Psalm 84 To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! Selah
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!
(ESV)
