Psalm 84 - Evangelical Heritage Version - 2021（EHV）

How I Love Your Dwelling PlaceFor the choir director. According to gittith.By the Sons of Korah. A psalm.How Loved Is Your Dwelling Place

1How I love your dwelling place, O Lord of Armies.

2My soul grows weak and even wastes away,

as I long for the courtyards of the Lord.

My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

3Even the sparrow has found a home,

and the swallow has found a nest for herself,

where she may place her young near your altars,

O Lord of Armies, my King and my God.

The Blessings of Being There

4How blessed are those who live in your house.

They are always praising you. Interlude

5How blessed is everyone

whose strength is found in you.

The highways to Jerusalem are in their hearts.

6As they pass through the Valley of Baca,

it becomes full of springs.

The autumn rain also covers it with pools.

7They go from strength to strength.

Each one will appear before God in Zion.

Prayer

8O Lord, God of Armies, hear my prayer.

Give ear, O God of Jacob. Interlude

9Look upon our Shield, O God.

Look with favor on the face of your Anointed One.The Blessings of Being There

10Yes, one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.

I would rather wait at the doorway of the house of my God

than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

11For the Lord is a sun and shield.

God gives grace and glory.

The Lord does not withhold any good thing

from those who walk with integrity.

12O Lord of Armies, how blessed is everyone who trusts in you.
