Psalms 84: 1 - 85: 13
| For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. |
| 1How lovely are your dwellings, |
| LORD of Armies! |
| 2My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. |
| My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. |
| 3Yes, the sparrow has found a home, |
| and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, |
| near your altars, LORD of Armies, my King, and my God. |
| 4Blessed are those who dwell in your house. |
| They are always praising you. Selah. |
| 5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, |
| who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage. |
| 6Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. |
| Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings. |
| 7They go from strength to strength. |
| Every one of them appears before God in Zion. |
| 8LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer. |
| Listen, God of Jacob. Selah. |
| 9Behold, God our shield, |
| look at the face of your anointed. |
| 10For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. |
| I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, |
| than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. |
| 11For the LORD God is a sun and a shield. |
| The LORD will give grace and glory. |
| He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. |
| 12LORD of Armies, |
| blessed is the man who trusts in you. |
| For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. |
| 1LORD, you have been favourable to your land. |
| You have restored the fortunes of Jacob. |
| 2You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. |
| You have covered all their sin. Selah. |
| 3You have taken away all your wrath. |
| You have turned from the fierceness of your anger. |
| 4Turn us, God of our salvation, |
| and cause your indignation towards us to cease. |
| 5Will you be angry with us forever? |
| Will you draw out your anger to all generations? |
| 6Won’t you revive us again, |
| that your people may rejoice in you? |
| 7Show us your loving kindness, LORD. |
| Grant us your salvation. |
| 8I will hear what God, the LORD, will speak, |
| for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; |
| but let them not turn again to folly. |
| 9Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, |
| that glory may dwell in our land. |
| 10Mercy and truth meet together. |
| Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. |
| 11Truth springs out of the earth. |
| Righteousness has looked down from heaven. |
| 12Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. |
| Our land will yield its increase. |
| 13Righteousness goes before him, |
| And prepares the way for his steps. |
