Psalm 84

The Joy of Worship in the Temple

To the leader: according to The Gittith. Of the Korahites. A Psalm.

¹How lovely is your dwelling place,
    O Lord of hosts!
²My soul longs, indeed it faints
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy
    to the living God.

³Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
    my King and my God.
⁴Happy are those who live in your house,
    ever singing your praise.Selah

⁵Happy are those whose strength is in you,
    in whose heart are the highways to Zion.^[a]
⁶As they go through the valley of Baca
    they make it a place of springs;
    the early rain also covers it with pools.
⁷They go from strength to strength;
    the God of gods will be seen in Zion.
