- Chapter 84 -

Better is one day in your judgments

(John 1:14-18)
1
TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. How beloved Your dwelling places, YHWH of Hosts!
2
My soul desired, indeed, it has also been consumed, || For the courts of YHWH, || My heart and my flesh cry aloud to the living God,
3
Even a sparrow has found a house, || And a swallow a nest for herself, || Where she has placed her brood—Your altars, O YHWH of Hosts, || My king and my God.
4
O the blessedness of those inhabiting Your house, || Yet they praise You. Selah.
5
O the blessedness of a man whose strength is in You, || Highways [are] in their heart.
6
Those passing through a valley of weeping make it a spring, || The early rain covers it with pools.
7
They go from strength to strength, || He appears to God in Zion.
8
O YHWH, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, || Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9
Our shield, see, O God, || And behold the face of Your anointed,
10
For a day in Your courts [is] good, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, || In the house of my God, || Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.
11
For YHWH God [is] a sun and a shield, || YHWH gives grace and glory. He does not withhold good || To those walking in uprightness.
12
YHWH of Hosts! O the blessedness of a man trusting in You.

Better is one day in your judgments

(John 1:14-18)
1
How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Armies!
2
My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3
Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, LORD of Armies, my King, and my God.
4
Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.
5
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6
Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7
They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
8
LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.
9
Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
10
For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would 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 a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12
LORD of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
