84:1  How lovely are your dwelling places, LORD of the Heavenly Armies.
84:2  I desire and long for the Temple courts of the LORD. My heart and body sing for joy to the living God.
84:3  Even the sparrow found a house for herself and the swallow a nest to lay her young at your altar, LORD of the Heavenly Armies, my king and God.
84:4  How happy are those who live in your Temple, for they can praise you continuously. Interlude
84:5  How happy are those whose strength is in you, whose heart is on your path.
84:6  They will pass through the Baca Valley where he will prepare a spring for them; even the early rain will cover it with blessings.
84:7  They will walk from strength to strength; each will appear before God in Zion.
84:8  LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, hear my prayer! Listen, God of Jacob! Interlude
84:9  God, look at our shield, and show favor to your anointed,
84:10  for a day in your Temple courts is better than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather stand at the entrance of God's house than live in the tent of wickedness.
84:11  For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD grants grace and favor; the LORD will not withhold any good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
84:12  LORD of Heavenly Armies, how happy are those who trust in you.
