The Joy of Worship – Psalm 84
Psalm 84:1-7 (CEV)
(For the music leader.A psalm for the people of Korah.)
The Joy of Worship
84 Lord God All-Powerful,
your temple is so lovely!
2 Deep in my heart I long
for your temple,
and with all that I am
I sing joyful songs to you.
3 Lord God All-Powerful,
my King and my God,
sparrows find a home
near your altars;
swallows build nests there
to raise their young.
4 You bless everyone
who lives in your house,
and they sing your praises.
5 You bless all who depend
on you for their strength
and all who deeply desire
to visit your temple.

6 When they reach Dry Valley,
springs start flowing,
and the autumn rain fills it
with pools of water.
7 Your people grow stronger,
and you, the God of gods,
will be seen in Zion.
How lovely to live with God – to be in his presence, to be where he is. When nowhere else seems safe – we are secure in his presence.
In that place we grow stronger, as we rely on God, and delight in worshipping him
