Psalm 84
King James Version
84 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
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.
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.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
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.
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.
12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Psalm 84
English Standard Version
My Soul Longs for the Courts of the Lord
To the choirmaster: according to (A)The Gittith.[a] A Psalm of (B)the Sons of Korah.
84 How (C)lovely is your (D)dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul (E)longs, yes, (F)faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to (G)the living God.
3 Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
(H)my King and my God.
4 (I)Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever (J)singing your praise! Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
(K)in whose heart are the highways to Zion.[b]
6 As they go through the Valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs;
(L)the early rain also covers it with (M)pools.
7 They go (N)from strength to strength;
each one (O)appears before God in Zion.
8 O (P)Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 (Q)Behold our (R)shield, O God;
look on the face of your anointed!
10 For a day (S)in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be (T)a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is (U)a sun and (V)shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor.
(W)No good thing does he withhold
from those who (X)walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts,
(Y)blessed is the one who trusts in you!

La Biblia de las Américas
Anhelo por la adoración en el templo
Para el director del coro; sobre[a] Gitit. Salmo de los hijos de Coré.
84 ¡Cuán preciosas[b] son tus moradas(A),
oh Señor de los ejércitos!
2 Anhela mi alma(B), y aun desea con ansias los atrios del Señor;
mi corazón y mi carne cantan con gozo al Dios vivo(C).
3 Aun el ave[c] ha hallado casa,
y la golondrina nido para sí donde poner sus polluelos:
¡tus altares(D), oh Señor de los ejércitos,
Rey mío y Dios mío(E)!
4 ¡Cuán bienaventurados son los que moran en tu casa(F)!
Continuamente te alaban(G). (Selah[d])
5 ¡Cuán bienaventurado es el hombre cuyo poder está en ti(H),
en cuyo corazón están los caminos a Sión(I)!
6 Pasando por el valle de Baca[e] lo convierten en manantial[f],
también las lluvias tempranas(J) lo cubren de bendiciones.
7 Van de poder en poder(K),
cada uno de ellos comparece ante Dios en Sión[g](L).
8 ¡Oh Señor, Dios de los ejércitos(M), oye mi oración;
escucha, oh Dios de Jacob(N)! (Selah)
9 Mira, oh Dios, escudo(O) nuestro,
y contempla el rostro de tu ungido(P).
10 Porque mejor es un día en tus atrios(Q) que mil fuera de ellos.
Prefiero estar en el umbral de la casa de mi Dios
que morar en las tiendas de impiedad.
11 Porque sol y escudo es el Señor Dios(R);
gracia y gloria da el Señor(S);
nada bueno niega a los que andan en integridad[h](T).
12 Oh Señor de los ejércitos,
¡cuán bienaventurado es el hombre que en ti confía(U)!
