Psalms 84 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Psalms 84
1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.
3Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, My King, and my God.
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. [Selah
5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.
7They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
8O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. [Selah
9Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.
10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Psalms 84
1How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
2My soul longs, 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 places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
4How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah
5Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
7They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
8O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
9Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
10For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
12O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
