Psalmes 84

P S A L. LXXXIV.

1 The Prophet longing for the communion of the Sanctuarie, 4 sheweth how blessed they are that dwell therein. 8 Hee prayeth to be restored vnto it.

¶ To the chiefe musician vpon Gittith, a Psalme for the sonnes of Korah.

LXXXIV ¶ How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hostes! 2 My soule longeth, yea euen fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cryeth out for the liuing God. 3 Yea the sparrowe hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for her selfe, where she may lay her young, euen thine altars, O LORD of hostes, my king and my God. 4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they wilbe still praysing thee. Selah. 5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee: in whose heart are the wayes of them: 6 [fn][fn]Who passing through the valley of Baca, make it a well: the raine also filleth the pooles. 7 [fn]They goe from strength to strength: euery one of them in Zion appeareth before God. 8 O LORD God of hostes, heare my prayer: giue eare, O God of Iacob. Selah. 9 Behold, O God our shield: and looke vpon the face of thine anointed. 10 [fn]For a day in thy courts, is better then a thousand: I had rather be a doore keeper in the house of my God, then to dwell in the tents of wickednesse. 11 [ref]For the LORD God is a sunne and shield: the LORD will giue grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walke vprightly. 12 O LORD of hostes: blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
