Psalm 84

The Joy of Worship in the Temple

To the leader: according to The Gittith. Of the Korahites. A Psalm.
¹ How lovely is your dwelling place,
   O Lord of hosts!
² My soul longs, indeed it faints
   for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy
   to the living God.

⁴ Happy are those who live in your house,
   ever singing your praise.
          Selah

⁵ Happy are those whose strength is in you,
   in whose heart are the highways to Zion.^*
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
   give ear, O God of Jacob!
          Selah
⁹ Behold our shield, O God;
   look on the face of your anointed.

¹⁰ For a day in your courts is better
   than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
   than live in the tents of wickedness.
