Psalm 84
NET Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleInternational Standard Version
1For the music director; according to the gittith style; written by the Korahites, a psalm. How lovely is the place where you live, O LORD who rules over all! 1How lovely are your dwelling places, LORD of the Heavenly Armies.
2I desperately want to be in the courts of the LORD's temple. My heart and my entire being shout for joy to the living God. 2I desire and long for the Temple courts of the LORD. My heart and body sing for joy to the living God.
3Even the birds find a home there, and the swallow builds a nest, where she can protect her young near your altars, O LORD who rules over all, my king and my God. 3Even the sparrow found a house for herself and the swallow a nest to lay her young at your altar, LORD of the Heavenly Armies, my king and God.
4How blessed are those who live in your temple and praise you continually! (Selah) 4How happy are those who live in your Temple, for they can praise you continuously. Interlude
5How blessed are those who find their strength in you, and long to travel the roads that lead to your temple! 5How happy are those whose strength is in you, whose heart is on your path.
6As they pass through the Baca Valley, he provides a spring for them. The rain even covers it with pools of water. 6They will pass through the Baca Valley where he will prepare a spring for them; even the early rain will cover it with blessings.
7They are sustained as they travel along; each one appears before God in Zion. 7They will walk from strength to strength; each will appear before God in Zion.
8O LORD, sovereign God, hear my prayer! Listen, O God of Jacob! (Selah) 8LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, hear my prayer! Listen, God of Jacob! Interlude
9O God, take notice of our shield! Show concern for your chosen king! 9God, look at our shield, and show favor to your anointed,
10Certainly spending just one day in your temple courts is better than spending a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the entrance to the temple of my God than live in the tents of the wicked. 10for a day in your Temple courts is better than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather stand at the entrance of God's house than live in the tent of wickedness.
11For the LORD God is our sovereign protector. The LORD bestows favor and honor; he withholds no good thing from those who have integrity. 11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD grants grace and favor; the LORD will not withhold any good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12O LORD who rules over all, how blessed are those who trust in you! 12LORD of Heavenly Armies, how happy are those who trust in you.
