TehillimChapter 84
My Heart Longs for the Courts of Adonai
The longing for the courts of Adonai and the declaration that a day there is worth a thousand elsewhere is fulfilled in Yeshua, who is the doorway into eternal dwelling.
- How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place
The soul longs for Elohim's dwelling place the way a sparrow longs for home. How lovely is His presence.
- 1How lovely are your dwellings, YHWH Tzeva'ot!
- 2My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of YHWH. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living Elohim.
- 3Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, YHWH Tzeva'ot, my King, and my Elohim.
- 4Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.
- 5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
- 6Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
- 7They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before Elohim in Zion.
- 8YHWH, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, Elohim of Jacob. Selah.
- 9Behold, Elohim our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
- A Day in Your Courts Is Better Than a Thousand
One day in Elohim's courts is worth more than a thousand anywhere else. This is what your heart was made for.
- 10For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Elohim, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
- 11For YHWH Elohim is a sun and a shield. YHWH will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
- 12YHWH Tzeva'ot, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
