The journey to Zion
1 Lord Almighty,
the temple where you live is beautiful!
2I want very much to go to the Lord's temple.
I very much want to be in the temple yards.
With all that I am, and with great joy,
I sing to you, the God who lives for ever!
3In your temple,
even sparrows#84:3 ‘sparrows’ are small birds that are not valuable. have their homes.
Swallows builds their nests there,
to take care of their babies.
They can be near to your altars,
Lord Almighty, my king and my God.
4You have truly blessed those people
who live in your temple.
They can praise you all the time!
Selah.
5You have blessed those people
who come to you to make them strong.
They love to travel to your temple in Zion.
6As they go through the dry Baka valley,
springs of water appear there!
The autumn rain covers the valley with pools.
7The people become stronger as they travel,
until each one meets with God in Zion. #84:7 God helped the people who were travelling to his temple in Jerusalem. Baka Valley was a dry place. Even there, God gave the people water to drink. He took care of them so that they arrived safely at his temple to worship him there.
8 Lord God Almighty,
please listen to my prayer!
God of Jacob, hear me!
Selah.
9God, look at our king,
the one who protects us like a shield!
Take care of the king that you have chosen.
10I would rather be near your temple for one day
than have a thousand days anywhere else.
I would rather stand near the door of God's temple
than live among wicked people.
11The Lord God is like a sun
and a shield for his people.
He is kind to his people
and he gives glory to them.
To those who do what is right,
he gives every good thing that they need.
12 Lord Almighty,
you have truly blessed everyone who trusts in you!
