Psalm 84

⁴One thing I have asked of the Lord; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and seek Him in His temple.

³Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell.

⁸They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.

¹A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

²²But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

²³And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp.

⁵until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁹My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

¹For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.

²My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?

⁸¹My soul faints for Your salvation; I wait for Your word.

¹A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

²So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

²⁶My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

⁶I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah

¹He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

¹A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.

²⁰Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

⁴Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

⁷Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.

²Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.

⁶Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

⁴Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.

⁴One thing I have asked of the Lord; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and seek Him in His temple.

⁴and on that day you will say: “Give praise to the Lord; proclaim His name! Make His works known among the peoples; declare that His name is exalted.

⁵Sing to the Lord, for He has done glorious things. Let this be known in all the earth.

⁸My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.

¹¹Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

⁷The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.

⁸The Lord is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.

⁹But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

¹²I will strengthen them in the Lord, and in His name they will walk,” declares the Lord.

¹³I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

⁸I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

²And many nations will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

¹⁷For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison.

³Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

⁴perseverance, character; and character, hope.

²³Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for He has given you the autumn rains for your vindication. He sends you showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.

³³I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

³⁷No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

¹⁴“Sir,” I answered, “you know.” So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁸The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.

¹⁸And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

³¹But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

⁹Yet a righteous one holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.

¹⁶From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.

¹⁸But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

²The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the Lord and against His Anointed One:

¹After these events, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.”

¹A Psalm. Sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done wonders; His right hand and holy arm have gained Him the victory.

²⁰I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.

⁶When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and said, “Surely here before the Lord is His anointed.”

¹⁷There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

⁴One thing I have asked of the Lord; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and seek Him in His temple.

⁸O Lord, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

⁹Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

²So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

²⁰But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

⁵Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

⁶The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,

¹For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How 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.

⁹Fear the Lord, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

¹⁰Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

⁷He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk with integrity,

³³But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

¹⁹And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

¹²The Lord will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

⁹He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.

⁷But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him.

⁸He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.

⁸Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah

¹⁰Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord; let him lean on his God.

¹⁸Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the Lord is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.

¹²Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.

⁸Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
