Psalms 84

¹ How endearing is Your Grand Tabernacle, O Yahweh of hosts. ² My soul longs for and even consumes for the courts of Yahweh; My heart and my flesh, they are appealing to the living El. ³ Even the sparrow finds a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, In which she sets her broods - So also Your altars, O Yahweh of hosts, My King and my Elohim. ⁴ Happy are those dwelling in Your House; They shall continually praise You. ⁵ Happy is the human whose strength is in You; Pilgrim highways are in their heart. ⁶ As they are passing through the vale of aspen, He is making it a vale of springs; Indeed the former rain is muffling it with blessings. ⁷ They go from rampart to rampart Till each appears before Elohim in Zion. ⁸ O Yahweh Elohim of hosts, do hear my prayer; Do give ear, O Elohim of Jacob. ⁹ See to our shield, O Elohim, And look upon the face of Your anointed. ¹⁰ For better is a day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would choose to sweep in the House of my Elohim, Rather than abide in the tents of wickedness. ¹¹ For Sun and Shield is Yahweh Elohim; Grace and glory does Yahweh bestow; He does not withhold good from those walking with integrity. ¹² O Yahweh of hosts, Happy is the human trusting in You.
