18
That
men
may know that thou, whose name alone
is
JEHOVAH,
art
the most high over
all the earth.
CHAPTER 84
How amiable
are
thy tabernacles, O L
ORD
of hosts!
2
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the L
ORD
: my heart and my flesh crieth
out for the living God.
3
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may
lay her young,
even
thine altars, O L
ORD
of hosts, my King, and my God.
4
Blessed
are
they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5
Blessed
is
the man whose strength
is
in thee; in whose heart
are
the ways
of them.
6
Who
passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7
They go from strength to strength,
every one of them
in Zion appeareth before God.
8
O L
ORD
God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10
For 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.
11
For the L
ORD
God
is
a sun and shield: the L
ORD
will give grace and glory: no good
thing
will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12
O L
ORD
of hosts, blessed
is
the man that trusteth in thee.
CHAPTER 85
L
ORD
, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned
thyself
from the fierceness of thine
anger.
4
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7
Shew us thy mercy, O L
ORD
, and grant us thy salvation.
8
I will hear what God the L
ORD
will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to
his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9
Surely his salvation
is
nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed
each other.
11
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
