| Pilgrimage Psalm. Psalm 84(v83) | |||
| 1 | How lovely is your dwelling place, O Yahweh of hosts! | ||
| 2 | My soul longs, yea, faints for the courts of Yahweh; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God. | ||
| 3 | Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Yahweh of hosts, my King and my God. | ||
| 4 | Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! | ||
| 5 | Blessed are the men whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion. | ||
| 6 | As they go through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. | ||
| 7 | They go from strength to strength; the God of gods will be seen in Zion. | ||
| 8 | O Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! | ||
| 9 | Behold our shield, O God; look upon the face of your anointed! | ||
| 10 | For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. | ||
| 11 | For Yahweh God is a sun and shield; he bestows favour and honour. No good thing does Yahweh withhold from those who walk uprightly. | ||
| 12 | O Yahweh of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you! | ||
