Psalm 84
Quam dilecta!
1
O how amiable are thy dwellings *
thou Lord of hosts!
2
My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord *
my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.
3
Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young *
even thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
4
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house *
they will be alway praising thee.
5
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee *
in whose heart are thy ways.
6
Who going through the vale of misery use it for a well *
and the pools are filled with water.
7
They will go from strength to strength *
and unto the God of gods appeareth every one of them in Sion.
8
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer *
hearken, O God of Jacob.
