New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 84
1
How lovely is your dwelling place,<br>O LORD of Heaven’s Armies.<br>
2
I long, yes, I faint with longing<br>to enter the courts of the LORD.<br>With my whole being, body and soul,<br>I will shout joyfully to the living God (Elohim).<br>
3
Even the sparrow finds a home,<br>and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young<br>at a place near your altar,<br>O LORD of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God (Elohim)!<br>
4
What joy for those who can live in your house,<br>always singing your praises. <i>Interlude</i><br>
5
What joy for those whose strength comes from the LORD,<br>who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.<br>
6
When they walk through the Valley of Weeping,<br>it will become a place of refreshing springs.<br>The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings.<br>
7
They will continue to grow stronger,<br>and each of them will appear before God (Elohim) in Jerusalem.<br>
8
O LORD God (Elohim) of Heaven’s Armies, hear my prayer.<br>Listen, O God (Elohim) of Jacob. <i>Interlude</i><br>
9
O God (Elohim), look with favor upon the king, our shield!<br>Show favor to the one you have anointed.<br>
10
A single day in your courts<br>is better than a thousand anywhere else!<br>I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God (Elohim)<br>than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.<br>
11
For the LORD God (Elohim) is our sun and our shield.<br>He gives us Grace and glory.<br>The LORD will withhold no good thing<br>from those who do what is right.<br>
12
O LORD of Heaven’s Armies,<br>what joy for those who trust in you.<br>
