Psalm 84Korah's sons wrote this song for the music leader. Use special music.God's temple brings joy to his people

1 Lord Almighty,

the temple where you live is beautiful!

2I want very much to go to the Lord's temple.

I very much want to be in the temple yards.

With all that I am, and with great joy,

I sing to you, the God who lives for ever!

3In your temple,

even sparrows have their homes.

Swallows build their nests there,

to take care of their babies.

They can be near to your altars,

Lord Almighty, my king and my God.

4You have truly blessed those people

who live in your temple.

They can praise you all the time!

5You have blessed those people

who come to you to make them strong.

They love to travel to your temple in Zion.

6As they go through the dry Baka Valley,

springs of water appear there!

The autumn rain covers the valley with pools.

7The people become stronger as they travel,

until each one meets with God in Zion.

8 Lord God Almighty,

please listen to my prayer!

God of Jacob, hear me!

9God, look at our king,

the one who protects us like a shield!

Take care of the king that you have chosen.

10I would rather be near your temple for one day

than have a thousand days anywhere else.

I would rather stand at the entrance of God's temple

than live among wicked people.

11The Lord God is like a sun

and a shield for his people.

He is kind to his people

and he gives them honour.

To those who do what is right,

he gives every good thing that they need.

12 Lord Almighty,

you have truly blessed everyone who trusts in you!
