68. Worship in God's House
Psalm 84
Leader reads the plain lines; the congregation reads the bold lines.
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord:
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee.
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
