- Chapter 84 -

Better is one day in your judgments

(John 1:14-18)
1
Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for the sons of Core.
2
How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of host!
3
My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.
4
For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
5
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever.
6
Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps,
7
In the vale of tears, in the place which be hath set.
8
For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
9
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.
10
Behold, O God our protector: and look on the face of thy Christ.
11
For better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
12
For God loveth mercy and truth: the Lord will give grace and glory.
13
He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Better is one day in your judgments

(John 1:14-18)
1
How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Armies!
2
My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3
Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, LORD of Armies, my King, and my God.
4
Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.
5
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6
Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7
They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
8
LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.
9
Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
10
For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12
LORD of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
