Sunday's Comin' 9/6/2014

A Psalm this week to help prepare our hearts for tomorrow when we go to God's house to meet with God's People on God's day to worship God.

Psalm 84

1  How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!
2  My soul longs, yes faints for the courts of the LORD;
    my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.

3  Even the sparrow finds a home and the swallow a nest for herself,where she may lay her young,
    at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.
4  Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise!

5  Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6  As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs;
    the early rain also covers it with pools.
7  They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion

8  O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob!
9  Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!

10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.
    I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor.
    No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!
