PSALM 84
The righteous cry unto the living God—Better to be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than to dwell in the tents of wickedness—No good thing withheld from those that walk uprightly.
TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN UPON GITTITH, A PSALM FOR THE SONS OF KORAH.
1
How aamiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2
My soul longeth, yea, even afainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
4
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5
Blessed is the man whose astrength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion aappeareth before God.
8
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10
For a day in thy courts is better than aa thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the Lord God is a asun and bshield: the Lord will give cgrace and glory: no good thing will he dwithhold from them that ewalk uprightly.

O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
