PSALM 84

The Soul Longs for The LORD

To the director; [2for 3the 4wine vats 5to the 6sons 7of Korah 1a psalm].

1How beloved   are your tents, O lord  of the forces. 2[2longs after 3and 4falters   1My soul] for the courtyards of the lord.   My heart and   my flesh exulted over the living God. 3For even the sparrow finds for himself a house; and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she puts   her own nestlings, even  your altars, O lord  of the forces,   my king and   my God. 4Blessed are  the ones dwelling in   your house; into the eons of the eons they shall praise you. PAUSE. 5Blessed is  the man in whom is the assistance to him from you; [4ascending 1in   2his heart 3he ordained]; 6into the valley of the place of weeping; into the place which he put himself. For even [4a blessing 3will give 1the one 2establishing law]. 7They shall go from force to force; they shall see the God   of gods in Zion. 8O lord, the God of the forces, listen to   my prayer! Give ear, O God of Jacob! PAUSE. 9[4our defender 1Behold 2O 3God], and look into the face   of your anointed one. 10For better is  [2day 1one] in   your courtyards than thousands. I would choose to be thrown aside in the house   of my God, rather than for me to live among the tents of sinners. 11For [2mercy 3and 4truth 1the lord loves].   God [2favor 3and 4glory 1shall give]. The lord  will not deprive   good things  to the ones going in innocence. 12O lord, the God of the forces, blessed is  the man   hoping upon you.
