Psalm 84:5-12
New Living Translation
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.
12 O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
what joy for those who trust in you.

5 Blessed are those whose strength(A) is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.(B)

till each appears(F) before God in Zion.(G)

listen to me, God of Jacob.

look with favor on your anointed one.(J)
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper(K) in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun(L) and shield;(M)
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold(N)
from those whose walk is blameless.
