To the chief Musician upon Gittith [qy., the wine-vat], A Psalm
for the sons of Korah.
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of Hosts!
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living El.
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King, and my Elohim.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before Elohim.
O Jehovah Elohim of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O Elohim of Jacob. Selah.
Behold, O Elohim our shield, and look upon the face of thy Messiah.
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Elohim, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
O Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
84:1-3 Faith and the Spirit long after the dwelling places, &c., of Jehovah of hosts, my King and my Elohim [Qy.—Should it not be v. 2 "El, (yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,") even thine altars, &c.; 4—7 the blessings en route to Zion. 8—9 Elokim of Jacob., look on the face of thy Messiah; 10—12 I long after him who is the blessing of those that trust in him.
