Psalm 84:2-11
New Living Translation
2 I long, yes, I faint with longing
to enter the courts of the Lord.
With my whole being, body and soul,
I will shout joyfully to the living God.
3 Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young
at a place near your altar,
O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God!
4 What joy for those who can live in your house,
always singing your praises. Interlude
5 What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord,
who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
6 When they walk through the Valley of Weeping,[a]
it will become a place of refreshing springs.
The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings.
7 They will continue to grow stronger,
and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem.[b]
8 O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, hear my prayer.
Listen, O God of Jacob. Interlude
9 O God, look with favor upon the king, our shield!
Show favor to the one you have anointed.
10 A single day in your courts
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.
He gives us grace and glory.
The Lord will withhold no good thing
from those who do what is right.
Psalm 84:2-11
New International Version
2 My soul yearns,(A) even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.(B)
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,(C)
Lord Almighty,(D) my King(E) and my God.(F)
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.[a]
5 Blessed are those whose strength(G) is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.(H)
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;(I)
the autumn(J) rains also cover it with pools.[b]
7 They go from strength to strength,(K)
till each appears(L) before God in Zion.(M)
8 Hear my prayer,(N) Lord God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
9 Look on our shield,[c](O) O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.(P)
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper(Q) in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun(R) and shield;(S)
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold(T)
from those whose walk is blameless.

2 Corinthians 4:4-6
New Living Translation
4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
5 You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.
