Psalms 84

1 How dear are your tents, O Lord of armies!

1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!

2The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.

2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

3The little birds have places for themselves, where they may put their young, even your altars, O Lord of armies, my King and my God.

3Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

3Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, My King, and my God.

4Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah.)

4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. [Selah

5Happy is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion.

6Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.

6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

6Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

7They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.

7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

7They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

8O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah.)

8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

8O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. [Selah

9O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.

9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

9Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.

10For a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.

10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.

11For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

11For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.

12O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

12O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
