For the choir director; on the gittith; a psalm by Korah’s descendants.

84 
Your dwelling place is lovely, O Lord of Armies!

2 My soul longs and yearns

for the Lord’s courtyards.

My whole body shouts for joy to the living God.

3 Even sparrows find a home,

and swallows find a nest for themselves.

There they hatch their young

near your altars, O Lord of Armies, my king and my God.

4 Blessed are those who live in your house.

They are always praising you. Selah

5 Blessed are those who find strength in you.

Their hearts are on the road ⌞that leads to you⌟.

6 As they pass through a valley where balsam trees grow,[a]

they make it a place of springs.

The early rains cover it with blessings.[b]

7 Their strength grows as they go along

until each one of them appears

in front of God in Zion.

8 O Lord God, commander of armies, hear my prayer.

Open your ears, O God of Jacob. Selah

9 Look at our shield, O God.

Look with favor on the face of your anointed one.

10 One day in your courtyards is better than a thousand ⌞anywhere else⌟.

I would rather stand in the entrance to my God’s house

than live inside wicked people’s homes.

11 The Lord God is a sun and shield.

The Lord grants favor and honor.

He does not hold back any blessing

from those who live innocently.

12 O Lord of Armies, blessed is the person who trusts you.
