How lovely

"How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints.
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.

Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest  for herself,
where she may have her young -
a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and
my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your
house;
they are ever praising you. Selah

Blessed are those whose strength
is in you,
who have set their hearts on
pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of
Baca,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it
with pools.
They go strength to strength,
till each appears before God in
Zion.

Hear my prayer, O LORD God
Almighty;
List to me, O God of Jacob
Selah

Look upon our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed
one.

Better is one day in your courts;
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in
the house of the my God
than dwell in the tents of the
wicked.

For the LORD God is a sun and
shield;
the LORD bestow favor and
honor;
no good thing does he withhold
form those who walk is
blameless.
O LORD Almighty,
blessed in the man who trusts in
you."
Psalm 84: 1 - 13
