The Psalms 131


Psalm 84


The place where you live is so delightful, LORD Almighty!
My whole being yearns, pining for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my body cry out to the living God.
Even a small bird has found a home
and a swallow a nest for herself where she has put her young


  • right by your altars, LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
    Blessed! Those who live in your home are blessed

  • they praise you all the time.........
    Blessed! A person who has you as a refuge is blessed;
    the road to worship is in their heart.
    Those who pass through the arid valley make it a place of springs,
    the rain covers it with blessings.
    They go from strength to strength;
    until the God of gods will be seen in Zion.


LORD God Almighty, hear my prayer.
Please listen, God of Jacob.........
See the one who defends us, O God
and look on the face of your anointed.

A day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere,
so I would rather stand at the door of the house of my God
than live with evildoers.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD gives favour and honour;
he does not withhold good things from those who live blameless lives.
LORD Almighty, the one who trusts in you is so blessed!
