Psalm 84
Longing for God’s House
For the choir director: on the Gittith.(A) A psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord of Armies.(B)
2 I long and yearn
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh cry out for[a] the living God.(C)
3 Even a sparrow finds a home,
and a swallow, a nest for herself
where she places her young—
near your altars, Lord of Armies,
my King and my God.(D)
4 How happy are those who reside in your house,
who praise you continually.(E)Selah
5 Happy are the people whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.(F)
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,[b]
they make it a source of spring water;
even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings.[c](G)
7 They go from strength to strength;
each appears before God in Zion.(H)
8 Lord God of Armies, hear my prayer;
listen, God of Jacob.(I)Selah
9 Consider our shield,[d] God;(J)
look on the face of your anointed one.(K)
10 Better a day in your courts
than a thousand anywhere else.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
than live in the tents of wicked people.(L)
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield.(M)
The Lord grants favor and honor;
he does not withhold the good
from those who live with integrity.(N)
12 Happy is the person who trusts in you,
Lord of Armies!(O)
Proverbs 18:20-21
Christian Standard Bible
20 From the fruit of a person’s mouth his stomach is satisfied;
he is filled with the product of his lips.(A)
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.(B)
2 Timothy 4:9-22

Final Instructions
9 Make every effort to come to me soon,(A) 10 because Demas(B) has deserted me,(C) since he loved this present world, and has gone to Thessalonica.(D) Crescens has gone to Galatia,(E) Titus(F) to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke(G) is with me. Bring Mark(H) with you, for he is useful to me in the ministry. 12 I have sent Tychicus(I) to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the cloak I left in Troas(J) with Carpus, as well as the scrolls, especially the parchments. 14 Alexander(K) the coppersmith did great harm to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works. 15 Watch out(L) for him yourself because he strongly opposed our words.
16 At my first defense, no one stood by me, but everyone deserted me.(M) May it not be counted against them. 17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that I might fully preach the word and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil work and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom.(N) To him be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
Benediction
19 Greet Prisca and Aquila,(O) and the household of Onesiphorus.(P) 20 Erastus(Q) has remained at Corinth; I left Trophimus(R) sick at Miletus.(S) 21 Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters.
22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
