Psalm 84
New International Version

Psalm 84[a]

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

1 How lovely is your dwelling place,(A)
    Lord Almighty!
2 My soul yearns,(B) even faints,
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
    for the living God.(C)
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,(D)
    Lord Almighty,(E) my King(F) and my God.(G)
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
    they are ever praising you.[c]

5 Blessed are those whose strength(H) is in you,
    whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.(I)
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
    they make it a place of springs;(J)
    the autumn(K) rains also cover it with pools.[d]
7 They go from strength to strength,(L)
    till each appears(M) before God in Zion.(N)

8 Hear my prayer,(O) Lord God Almighty;
    listen to me, God of Jacob.
9 Look on our shield,[e](P) O God;
    look with favor on your anointed one.(Q)

10 Better is one day in your courts
    than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper(R) in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun(S) and shield;(T)
    the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold(U)
    from those whose walk is blameless.

12 Lord Almighty,
    blessed(V) is the one who trusts in you.

Salmos 84
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)

Al director musical. Sígase la tonada de «La canción del lagar». Salmo de los hijos de Coré.

84 ¡Cuán hermosas son tus moradas,
    Señor Todopoderoso!
2 Anhelo con el alma los atrios del Señor;
    casi agonizo por estar en ellos.
Con el corazón, con todo el cuerpo,
    canto alegre al Dios de la vida.

3 Señor Todopoderoso, rey mío y Dios mío,
    aun el gorrión halla casa cerca de tus altares;
también la golondrina hace allí su nido,
    para poner sus polluelos.

4 Dichoso el que habita en tu templo,
    pues siempre te está alabando. Selah
5 Dichoso el que tiene en ti su fortaleza,
    que solo piensa en recorrer tus sendas.
6 Cuando pasa por el valle de las Lágrimas
    lo convierte en región de manantiales;
también las lluvias tempranas
    cubren de bendiciones el valle.
7 Según avanzan los peregrinos, cobran más fuerzas,
    y en Sión se presentan ante el Dios de dioses.

8 Oye mi oración, Señor Dios Todopoderoso;
    escúchame, Dios de Jacob. Selah
9 Oh Dios, escudo nuestro,
    pon sobre tu ungido tus ojos bondadosos.

10 Vale más pasar un día en tus atrios
    que mil fuera de ellos;
prefiero cuidar la entrada de la casa de mi Dios
    que habitar entre los impíos.

11 El Señor es sol y escudo;
    Dios nos concede honor y gloria.
El Señor brinda generosamente su bondad
    a los que se conducen sin tacha.

12 Señor Todopoderoso,
    ¡dichosos los que en ti confían!

Psalm 84
New King James Version

The Blessedness of Dwelling in the House of God

To the Chief Musician. (A)On[a] an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

84 How (B)lovely [b]is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!
2 (C)My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your (D)house;
They will still be praising You. Selah

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley (E)of [c]Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with [d]pools.
7 They go (F)from strength to strength;
[e]Each one (G)appears before God in Zion.

8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 (H)O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your [f]anointed.

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather [g]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is (I)a sun and (J)shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
(K)No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts,
(L)Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
