Psalm 84

Scripture Reading    Sunday, November 8, 2015              Don Fisher

Our Hebrew Lesson comes from Psalm 84

How lovely is your dwelling place,

    O LORD of hosts!

2 My soul longs, indeed it faints

    for the courts of the LORD;

my heart and my flesh sing for joy

    to the living God.

3 Even the sparrow finds a home,

    and the swallow a nest for herself,

    where she may lay her young,

at your altars, O LORD of hosts,

    my King and my God.

4 Happy are those who live in your house,

    ever singing your praise. Selah

5 Happy are those whose strength is in you,

    in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

6 As they go through the valley of Baca

    they make it a place of springs;

    the early rain also covers it with pools.

7 They go from strength to strength;

    the God of gods will be seen in Zion.

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;

    give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah

9 Behold our shield, O God;

    look on the face of your anointed.

10 For a day in your courts is better

    than a thousand elsewhere.

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God

    than live in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;

    he bestows favor and honor.

No good thing does the LORD withhold

    from those who walk uprightly.

12 O LORD of hosts,

    happy is everyone who trusts in you.

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD!
