I Would Rather...

Psalm 84

[selected verses]
For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

1 How lovely is Your dwelling place,

O LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, 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 have her young—

a place near Your altar,

O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;

they are ever praising You.

Selah

10 Better is one day in Your courts

than a thousand elsewhere;

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;

the LORD bestows favor and honor;

no good thing does He withhold

from those whose walk is blameless [upright].
12 O LORD Almighty,

blessed is the man who trusts in You. [emphasis added]
