84:1 How beautiful are the places where You live, O Lord of all!
84:2 My soul wants and even becomes weak from wanting to be in the house of the Lord. My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
84:3 Even the bird has found a home. The swallow has found a nest for herself where she may lay her young at Your altars, O Lord of all, my King and my God.
84:4 How happy are those who live in Your house! They are always giving thanks to You.
84:5 How happy is the man whose strength is in You and in whose heart are the roads to Zion!
84:6 As they pass through the dry valley of Baca, they make it a place of good water. The early rain fills the pools with good also.
84:7 They go from strength to strength. Every one of them stands before God in Zion.
84:8 O Lord God of all, hear my prayer. Listen, O God of Jacob.
84:9 Look upon our safe-covering, O God. And look upon the face of Your chosen one.
84:10 For a day in Your house is better than a thousand outside. I would rather be the one who opens the door of the house of my God, than to live in the tents of the sinful.
84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and a safe-covering. The Lord gives favor and honor. He holds back nothing good from those who walk in the way that is right.
84:12 O Lord of all, how happy is the man who trusts in You!
