Psalm 84-85

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 84-85

1How lovely is Your dwelling place,
O LORD of Hosts!
2My soul longs, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she places her young near Your altars,
O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
4How blessed are those who dwell in Your house!
They are ever praising You.
5Blessed are those whose strength is in You,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it a place of springs;
even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
7They go from strength to strength,
until each appears before God in Zion.
8O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob.
9Take notice of our shield, O God,
and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
10For better 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 a shield;
the LORD gives grace and glory;
He withholds no good thing
from those who walk with integrity.
12O LORD of Hosts,
how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
1You showed favor to Your land, O LORD;
You restored Jacob from captivity.
2You forgave the iniquity of Your people;
You covered all their sin.
3You withheld all Your fury;
You turned from Your burning anger.
4Restore us, O God of our salvation,
and put away Your displeasure toward us.
5Will You be angry with us forever?
Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
6Will You not revive us again,
that Your people may rejoice in You?
7Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD,
and grant us Your salvation.
8I will listen to what God the LORD will say;
for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints;
He will not let them return to folly.
9Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him,
that His glory may dwell in our land.
10Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together;
righteousness and peace have kissed.
11Faithfulness sprouts from the earth,
and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12The LORD will indeed provide what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
13Righteousness will go before Him
to prepare the way for His steps.
