Psalm 84:4-12
New American Standard Bible
5 Blessed is the person whose (C)strength is in You,
In [a]whose heart are the (D)roads to Zion!
6 Passing through the Valley of [b]Baca they make it a [c]spring;
The (E)early rain also covers it with blessings.
7 They (F)go from strength to strength,
[d]Every one of them (G)appears before God in Zion.
8 (H)Lord God of armies, hear my prayer;
Listen, (I)God of Jacob! Selah
9 See our (J)shield, God,
And look at the face of (K)Your anointed.
10 For (L)a day in Your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than live in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is (M)a sun and (N)shield;
The Lord gives grace and (O)glory;
(P)He withholds no good thing [e]from those who walk with integrity.
12 Lord of armies,
(Q)Blessed is the person who trusts in You!

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
