Psalm 84
HCSB Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleEnglish Standard Version
1For the choir director: on the Gittith. A psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, LORD of Hosts. 1How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!
2I long and yearn for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh cry out for the living God. 2My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
3Even a sparrow finds a home, and a swallow, a nest for herself where she places her young-- near Your altars, LORD of Hosts, my King and my God. 3Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.
4How happy are those who reside in Your house, who praise You continually. Selah 4Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! Selah
5Happy are the people whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. 5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of springwater; even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings. 6As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.
7They go from strength to strength; each appears before God in Zion. 7They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.
8 LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob. Selah 8O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9Consider our shield, God; look on the face of Your anointed one. 9Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!
10Better a day in Your courts than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather be at the door of the house of my God than to live in the tents of wicked people. 10For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11For the LORD God is a sun and shield. The LORD gives grace and glory; He does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity. 11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.
12Happy is the person who trusts in You, LORD of Hosts! 12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!
