Psalm 84

Modern English Version

³ Yes, the sparrow has found a home
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
even at Your altars,
    O Lord of Hosts, my King and my God.
⁴ Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;
    they continually praise You. Selah

⁵ Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
    in whose heart are the paths to Zion.
⁶ As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
    they makes it a spring;
    the early rain also covers it with pools.
⁷ They go from strength to strength;
    every one of them appears in Zion before God.

⁸ O Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer,
    and give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
⁹ Behold, O God our shield,
    and look upon the face of Your anointed.

¹⁰ For a day in Your courts is better
    than a thousand elsewhere.
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
¹¹ For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
    the Lord will give favor and glory,
for no good thing will He withhold
    from the one who walks uprightly.

¹² O Lord of Hosts,
    blessed is the man who trusts in You.
