To the chief musician on Gittith, a psalm for the sons of Korah
84
📚✭How lovely✭ are your tabernacles,
O LORD of hosts✭!
2 📚✭My soul longs, yes, even faints
for the courts of the LORD.
My heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3 📚✭Even the sparrow has found
a house,
and the swallow a nest for herself
where she may put her young,
even your altars, O LORD
of hosts,
my King, and my God.
4 📚Blessed are those
who dwell in your house;
they will always be praising you. Selah
5 📚Blessed is the man whose
strength✭ is in you,
in whose heart are the ways
of pilgrimage,
6 📚✭who when passing through
the valley of Baca make it a spring.
The rain also fills the pools.
7 📚✭They go from strength
to strength,
every one of them appears
in Zion in the presence of God.
8 ✭O LORD God of hosts,
hear my prayer.
Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
9 📚✭See, O God our shield,
and look on the face
of your anointed.
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 live in the tents of wickedness.
11 📚✭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
in integrity.
12 📚✭O LORD of hosts, blessed
is the man who
trusts in you.
