Psalm 84 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ How lovely are Your dwelling places, O יהוה  of hosts!

² My being has longed, and even fainted, For the courts of יהוה ; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living Ě

³ Even the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, Where she has put her young ones – Your altars, O יהוה  of hosts, My Sovereign and my Elohim.

⁴ Blessed are those who dwell in Your house, They are ever praising You. Selah.

⁵ Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Your Highways are in their heart.

⁶ Passing through the valley of weeping, They make it a fountain; The Teacher also covers it with blessings.

⁷ They go from strength to strength, Appearing before Elohim in Tsiyon.

⁸ O יהוה  Elohim of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O Elohim of Yaʽ

⁹ O Elohim, see our shield, And look upon the face of Your anointed.

¹⁰ For a day in Your courts Is better than a thousand days. I have chosen rather to be a doorkeeper In the House of my Elohim, Than to dwell in the tents of the wrong.

¹¹ For יהוה  Elohim is a sun and a shield; יהוה  gives favour and esteem; He withholds no good matter From those who walk blamelessly.

¹² O יהוה  of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
