84:1 For the director of music. By the gittith. A song of the sons of Korah. Lord of heaven’s armies, how lovely is your Temple!
84:2 I want to be in the courtyards of the Lord’s Temple. My whole being wants to be with the living God.
84:3 The sparrows have found a home. And the swallows have nests. They raise their young near your altars, Lord of heaven’s armies, my King and my God.
84:4 Happy are the people who live at your Temple. They are always praising you. Selah
84:5 Happy are those whose strength comes from you. They want to travel to Jerusalem.
84:6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it like a spring. The autumn rains fill it with pools of water.
84:7 The people get stronger as they go. And everyone meets with God in Jerusalem.
84:8 Lord God of heaven’s armies, hear my prayer. God of Jacob, listen to me. Selah
84:9 God, look at our shield. Be kind to your appointed king.
84:10 One day in the courtyards of your Temple is better than a thousand days anywhere else. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the Temple of my God than live in the homes of the wicked.
84:11 The Lord God is like our sun and shield. The Lord gives us kindness and glory. He does not hold back anything good from those whose life is innocent.
84:12 Lord of heaven’s armies, happy are the people who trust you!
