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!
(C)My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

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.
Blessed are those who dwell in Your (D)house;
They will still be praising You. Selah

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

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
(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!

Anhelo por la casa de Dios

Al músico principal; sobre Gitit. Salmo para los hijos de Coré.

84 ¡Cuán amables son tus moradas, oh Jehová de los ejércitos!

Anhela mi alma y aun ardientemente desea los atrios de Jehová;

Mi corazón y mi carne cantan al Dios vivo.

Aun el gorrión halla casa,

Y la golondrina nido para sí, donde ponga sus polluelos,

Cerca de tus altares, oh Jehová de los ejércitos,

Rey mío, y Dios mío.

Bienaventurados los que habitan en tu casa;

Perpetuamente te alabarán. Selah

Bienaventurado el hombre que tiene en ti sus fuerzas,

En cuyo corazón están tus caminos.

Atravesando el valle de lágrimas lo cambian en fuente,

Cuando la lluvia llena los estanques.

Irán de poder en poder;

Verán a Dios en Sion.

Jehová Dios de los ejércitos, oye mi oración;

Escucha, oh Dios de Jacob. Selah

Mira, oh Dios, escudo nuestro,

Y pon los ojos en el rostro de tu ungido.

10 Porque mejor es un día en tus atrios que mil fuera de ellos.

Escogería antes estar a la puerta de la casa de mi Dios,

Que habitar en las moradas de maldad.

11 Porque sol y escudo es Jehová Dios;

Gracia y gloria dará Jehová.

No quitará el bien a los que andan en integridad.

12 Jehová de los ejércitos,

Dichoso el hombre que en ti confía.

84 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

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.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

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.
