Psa 84:1
For the choir director. According to the [fn]Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.
How H4100 lovely H3039 are Your dwelling H4908 places H4908,
O Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635!
Psa 84:2
My soul H5315 has longed H3700 and even H1571 [fn]fainted H3615 for the courts H2691 of Yahweh H3068;
My heart H3820 and my flesh H1320 sing H7442 for H7442 joy H7442 to the living H2416 God H410.
Psa 84:3
Even H1571 the bird H6833 has found H4672 a home H1004,
And the swallow H1866 a nest H7064 for herself, where H834 she sets H7896 her young H667,
At Your altars H4196, O Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635,
My King H4428 and my God H430.
Psa 84:4
How blessed H835 are those who dwell H3427 in Your house H1004!
They are ever H5750 praising H1984 You. [fn]Selah H5542.
Psa 84:5
How blessed H835 is the man H120 whose strength H5797 is in You,
In [fn]whose heart H3824 are the highways H4546 to Zion!
Psa 84:6
Passing H5674 through the valley H6010 of [fn]Baca H1056 they make H7896 it a [fn]spring H4599;
The early H4175 rain H4175 also H1571 wraps H5844 it up with blessings H1293.
Psa 84:7
They go H1980 from strength H2428 to strength H2428,
[fn]Each one of them appears H7200 before H413 God H430 in Zion H6726.
Psa 84:8
O Yahweh H3068 God H430 of hosts H6635, hear H8085 my prayer H8605;
Give H238 ear H238, O God H430 of Jacob H3290! Selah H5542.
Psa 84:9
See H7200 our shield H4043, O God H430,
And look H5027 upon the face H6440 of Your anointed H4899.
Psa 84:10
For better H2896 is a day H3117 in Your courts H2691 than H4480 a thousand H505 elsewhere.
I would choose to stand H5605 at the threshold H5605 of the house H1004 of my God H430
Than H4480 dwell H1752 in the tents H168 of wickedness H7562.
Psa 84:11
For Yahweh H3068 God H430 is a sun H8121 and shield H4043;
Yahweh H3068 gives H5414 grace H2580 and glory H3519;
No H3808 good H2896 thing H2896 does He withhold H4513 [fn]from those who walk H1980 blamelessly H8549.
Psa 84:12
O Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635,
How blessed H835 is the man H120 who trusts H982 in You!
