Psalm 84-85

New International Version

⁵ Blessed are those whose strength^(H) is in you,
    whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.^(I)
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
    they make it a place of springs;^(J)
    the autumn^(K) rains also cover it with pools.^[d]
7 They go from strength to strength,^(L)
    till each appears^(M) before God in Zion.^(N)

⁸ Hear my prayer,^(O) Lord God Almighty;
    listen to me, God of Jacob.
⁹ Look on our shield,^[e](P) O God;
    look with favor on your anointed one.^(Q)

¹⁰ Better is one day in your courts
    than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper^(R) in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
¹¹ For the Lord God is a sun^(S) and shield;^(T)
    the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold^(U)
    from those whose walk is blameless.

¹² Lord Almighty,
    blessed^(V) is the one who trusts in you.

⁴ Restore^(AB) us again, God our Savior,^(AC)
    and put away your displeasure toward us.
⁵ Will you be angry with us forever?^(AD)
    Will you prolong your anger through all generations?
⁶ Will you not revive^(AE) us again,
    that your people may rejoice^(AF) in you?
⁷ Show us your unfailing love,^(AG) Lord,
    and grant us your salvation.^(AH)

⁸ I will listen to what God the Lord says;
    he promises peace^(AI) to his people, his faithful servants—
    but let them not turn to folly.^(AJ)
9 Surely his salvation^(AK) is near those who fear him,
    that his glory^(AL) may dwell in our land.

¹⁰ Love and faithfulness^(AM) meet together;
    righteousness^(AN) and peace kiss each other.
¹¹ Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,
    and righteousness^(AO) looks down from heaven.
¹² The Lord will indeed give what is good,^(AP)
    and our land will yield^(AQ) its harvest.
¹³ Righteousness goes before him
    and prepares the way for his steps.
