84 Kay iinam ng iyong mga tabernakulo, Oh Panginoon ng mga hukbo!

Ang kaluluwa ko'y aasamasam, oo, nanglulupaypay sa mga looban ng Panginoon; ang puso ko't laman ay dumadaing sa buhay na Dios.

Oo, ang maya ay nakasumpong ng bahay, at ang langaylangayan ay nagpugad para sa kaniya, na mapaglalapagan niya ng kaniyang inakay, sa makatuwid baga'y iyong mga dambana, Oh Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Hari ko, at Dios ko.

Mapalad silang nagsisitahan sa iyong bahay: kanilang pupurihin kang palagi. (Selah)

Mapalad ang tao na ang kalakasan ay nasa iyo; na may mga daan sa kaniyang puso na tungo sa Sion.

Na nagdaraan sa libis ng iyak na ginagawa nilang dako ng mga bukal; Oo, tinatakpan ng pagpapala ng maagang ulan.

Sila'y nagsisiyaon sa kalakasa't kalakasan, bawa't isa sa kanila ay napakikita sa harap ng Dios sa Sion.

Oh Panginoong Dios ng mga hukbo, dinggin mo ang aking dalangin: pakinggan mo, Oh Dios ni Jacob. (Selah)

Masdan mo, Oh Dios na aming kalasag, at tingnan mo ang mukha ng iyong pinahiran ng langis.

10 Sapagka't isang araw sa iyong mga looban ay mabuti kay sa isang libo. Aking minagaling na maging tagatanod-pinto sa bahay ng aking Dios, kay sa tumahan sa mga tolda ng kasamaan.

11 Sapagka't ang Panginoong Dios ay araw at kalasag: ang Panginoo'y magbibigay ng biyaya at kaluwalhatian: hindi siya magkakait ng anomang mabuting bagay sa nagsisilakad ng matuwid.

12 Oh Panginoon ng mga hukbo, mapalad ang tao na tumitiwala sa iyo.

The Blessedness of Dwelling in the House of God

To the Chief Musician. (A)On[a] an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

84 How (B)lovely [b]is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!
(C)My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in Your (D)house;
They will still be praising You. Selah

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley (E)of [c]Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with [d]pools.
They go (F)from strength to strength;
[e]Each one (G)appears before God in Zion.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
(H)O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your [f]anointed.

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather [g]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is (I)a sun and (J)shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
(K)No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts,
(L)Blessed is the man who trusts in You!

My Soul Longs for the Courts of the Lord

To the choirmaster: according to (A)The Gittith.[a] A Psalm of (B)the Sons of Korah.

84 How (C)lovely is your (D)dwelling place,
    O Lord of hosts!
My soul (E)longs, yes, (F)faints
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
    to (G)the living God.

Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
    (H)my King and my God.
(I)Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
    ever (J)singing your praise! Selah

Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
    (K)in whose heart are the highways to Zion.[b]
As they go through the Valley of Baca
    they make it a place of springs;
    (L)the early rain also covers it with (M)pools.
They go (N)from strength to strength;
    each one (O)appears before God in Zion.

O (P)Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
    give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
(Q)Behold our (R)shield, O God;
    look on the face of your anointed!

10 For a day (S)in your courts is better
    than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be (T)a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is (U)a sun and (V)shield;
    the Lord bestows favor and honor.
(W)No good thing does he withhold
    from those who (X)walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts,
    (Y)blessed is the one who trusts in you!
