Psalms 84

One of my friend from cell sent me this passage the night before my first official job after graduating.

I don't know why he chose this psalm out of all the 150 psalms, but was touched by how thoughtful he was. "May you turn the valley into springs of living water." Thanks, and by God's grace will try to do that.

Psalm 84
For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

1 How lovely is your dwelling-place, O LORD Almighty.
2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.
5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
8Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob.
9 Look upon our shield, O God; look with favour on your anointed one.
10Better is one day in yourcourtsthan a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favour and honour; no good thing does hewithholdfrom those whose walk is blameless.
12O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you
