Psalms 84:2-11

CLV(i) 2 My soul longs for and even consumes for the courts of Yahweh; My heart and my flesh, they are appealing to the living El." 3 Even the sparrow finds a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, In which she sets her broods-- So also Your altars, O Yahweh of hosts, My King and my Elohim." 4 Happy are those dwelling in Your House; They shall continually praise You. {Interlude{ 5 Happy is the human whose strength is in You; Pilgrim highways are in their heart. 6 As they are passing through the vale of aspen, He is making it a vale of springs; Indeed the former rain is muffling it with blessings." 7 They go from rampart to rampart Till each appears before Elohim in Zion. 8 O Yahweh Elohim of hosts, do hear my prayer; Do give ear, O Elohim of Jacob. {Interlude{ " 9 See to our shield, O Elohim, And look upon the face of Your anointed." 10 For better is a day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would choose to sweep in the House of my Elohim, Rather than abide in the tents of wickedness." 11 For Sun and Shield is Yahweh Elohim; Grace and glory does Yahweh bestow; He does not withhold good from those walking with integrity.
