Psalms 84:1-4

Psalms 84

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!

2My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

3Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.

4How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah
