Psalm 84 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

¹ How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

² My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

³ Yea, the sparrow hath found her 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 strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion.

⁶ Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

⁷ They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

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 a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹ For the LORD God is a sun and a shield: The LORD will give grace and glory: No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

¹² O LORD of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
