Psalm 84:4-12

4Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 8.

5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

6As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. Or blessings

7They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.

8Hear my prayer, LORD God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob.

9Look on our shield, Or sovereign O God; look with favor on your anointed one.

10Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. 12LORD Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.
