Psalms 84:1

The Blessedness of Dwelling in the House of God

To the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 How ^alovely is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!

2 ^aMy soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your ^ahouse;
They will still be praising You. Selah

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

6 As they pass through the Valley ^aof Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with¹ pools.

Psalms 84:1

How amiable are thy tabernacles - In this plural noun he appears to include all the places in or near the temple where acts of Divine worship were performed. The holy of holies, the holy place, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt-offering, etc., etc.; all called here God' s tabernacles or dwelling-places; for wherever God was worshipped, there he was supposed to dwell.
