Psalms 84

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!	1 For the leader; "upon the gittith." A psalm of the Korahites.
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.	2 How lovely your dwelling, O LORD of hosts!
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.	3 My soul yearns and pines for the courts of the LORD. My heart and flesh cry out for the living God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.	4 As the sparrow finds a home and the swallow a nest to settle her young, My home is by your altars, LORD of hosts, my king and my God!
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.	5 Happy are those who dwell in your house! They never cease to praise you. Selah
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.	6 Happy are those who find refuge in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrim roads.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.	7 As they pass through the Baca valley, they find spring water to drink. Also from pools the Lord provides water for those who lose their way.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.	8 They pass through outer and inner wall and see the God of gods on Zion.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.	9 LORD of hosts, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob. Selah
10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.	10 O God, look kindly on our shield; look upon the face of your anointed.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.	11 Better one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. Better the threshold of the house of my God than a home in the tents of the wicked.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.	12 For a sun and shield is the LORD God, bestowing all grace and glory. The LORD withholds no good thing from those who walk without reproach.
	13 O LORD of hosts, happy are those who trust in you!
