Psalm 84:3-12 American Standard Version (ASV)

3. Yea, the sparrow hath found her a 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 God.

4. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee.

5. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion.

6. Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

7. They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

8. O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob.

9. Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.

10. For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11. For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12. O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
