    For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
    PSALM 84 C.M.
    1 How lovely is thy dwelling-place,
    O LORD of hosts, to me!
    The tabernacles of thy grace
    how pleasant, LORD, they be!
    2 My thirsty soul longs veh’mently,
    yea faints, thy courts to see:
    My very heart and flesh cry out,
    O living God, for thee.
    3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out
    an house wherein to rest;
    The swallow also for herself
    hath purchasèd a nest;
    Ev’n thine own altars, where she safe
    her young ones forth may bring,
    O thou almighty LORD of hosts,
    who art my God and King.
    4 Bless’d are they in thy house that dwell,
    they ever give thee praise.
    5 Bless’d is the man whose strength thou art,
    in whose heart are thy ways:
    6 Who passing thorough Baca’s vale,
    therein do dig up wells;
    Also the rain that falleth down
    the pools with water fills.
    7 So they from strength unwearied go
    still forward unto strength,
    Until in Zion they appear
    before the Lord at length.
    8 LORD God of hosts, my prayèr hear;
    O Jacob’s God, give ear.
    9 See God our shield, look on the face
    of thine anointed dear.
    10 For in thy courts one day excels
    a thousand; rather in
    My God’s house will I keep a door,
    than dwell in tents of sin.
    11 For God the LORD’s a sun and shield:
    he’ll grace and glory give;
    And will withhold no good from them
    that uprightly do live.
    12 O thou that art the LORD of hosts,
    that man is truly blessed,
    Who by assured confidence
    on thee alone doth rest.
