New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (nwt, en_US, 2013)
Psalm
Psalm, 84
For the director; upon the Gitʹtith.*1 Of the sons of Korʹah. A melody.
1 How lovely*1 your grand tabernacle is, O Jehovah of armies!
|
2 My whole being*1 yearns, Yes, I am faint with longing, For the courtyards of Jehovah. My heart and my flesh shout joyfully to the living God.
|
3 Even the bird finds a home there And the swallow a nest for herself, Where she cares for her young Near your grand altar, O Jehovah of armies, My King and my God!
4 Happy are those dwelling in your house! They continue to praise you. (Selah)
5 Happy are the men who find their strength in you, Whose hearts are set on the highways.
6 When they pass through the Baʹca Valley,*1 They make it into a place of springs; And the early rain clothes it*2 with blessings.
|
7 They will walk on from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion.
8 O Jehovah God of armies, hear my prayer; Listen, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Look, our shield and our God,*1 Look upon the face of your anointed one.
|
10 For a day in your courtyards is better than a thousand anywhere else! I choose to stand at the threshold of the house of my God Rather than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield; He gives favor and glory. Jehovah will not hold back anything good From those walking in integrity.
12 O Jehovah of armies, Happy is the man who trusts in you.
