For the director of music. According to gittith.Title: Probably a musical term Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.84:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 8.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.84:6 Or blessings
They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.
