Psalm 84

The pilgrim's psalm of the Korahites: 'How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts! My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah.' The sparrow hath found her a house, and the swallow a nest at thine altars. 'Blessed are they that dwell in thy house… Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs,' going from strength to strength. 'A day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield… no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.'
