84:1 For the music director; according to the gittith style; written by the Korahites, a psalm. How lovely is the place where you live, O LORD who rules over all!
84:2 I desperately want to be in the courts of the LORD's temple. My heart and my entire being shout for joy to the living God.
84:3 Even the birds find a home there, and the swallow builds a nest, where she can protect her young near your altars, O LORD who rules over all, my king and my God.
84:4 How blessed are those who live in your temple and praise you continually! (Selah)
84:5 How blessed are those who find their strength in you, and long to travel the roads that lead to your temple!
84:6 As they pass through the Baca Valley, he provides a spring for them. The rain even covers it with pools of water.
84:7 They are sustained as they travel along; each one appears before God in Zion.
84:8 O LORD, sovereign God, hear my prayer! Listen, O God of Jacob! (Selah)
84:9 O God, take notice of our shield! Show concern for your chosen king!
84:10 Certainly spending just one day in your temple courts is better than spending a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the entrance to the temple of my God than live in the tents of the wicked.
84:11 For the LORD God is our sovereign protector. The LORD bestows favor and honor; he withholds no good thing from those who have integrity.
84:12 O LORD who rules over all, how blessed are those who trust in you!
