﻿Psalm.
Chapter 84.
How lovely are your dwelling places, LORD of hosts! 
My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. 
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young, near your altars, LORD of hosts, my King and my God. 
Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are always praising you. Selah. 
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose hearts are the highways. 
As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with blessings. 
They go from strength to strength; each appears before God in Zion. 
LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob. Selah. 
Look upon our shield, God; look on the face of your anointed. 
For one day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. 
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk in integrity. 
LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!
