#10: Psalms 84<\/strong><\/p>\n 1<\/small><\/span> How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Hosts!<\/p> 2<\/small><\/span> My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh.

They are always praising you. Selah.<\/p> 5<\/small><\/span> Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; Who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.<\/p> 6<\/small><\/span> Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs.

Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.<\/p> 8<\/small><\/span> Yahweh, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.<\/p> 9<\/small><\/span> Behold, God our shield, Look at the face of your anointed.<\/p> 10<\/small><\/span> For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.<\/p> 11<\/small><\/span> For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.<\/p> 12<\/small><\/span> Yahweh of Hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in you. Psalm 85 For the Chief Musician.

Whatever he does shall prosper.<\/p> 4<\/small><\/span> The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.<\/p> 5<\/small><\/span> Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.<\/p> 6<\/small><\/span> For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish.

Cleanse me from my sin.<\/p> 3<\/small><\/span> For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.<\/p> 4<\/small><\/span> Against you, and you only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in your sight; That you may be proved right when you speak, And justified when you judge.<\/p> 5<\/small><\/span> Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin did my mother conceive me.<\/p> 6<\/small><\/span> Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.<\/p> 7<\/small><\/span> Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.<\/p> 8<\/small><\/span> Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.<\/p> 9<\/small><\/span> Hide your face from my sins, And blot out all of my iniquities.<\/p> 10<\/small><\/span> Create in me a clean heart, God.

My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.<\/p> 15<\/small><\/span> Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.<\/p> 16<\/small><\/span> For you don't delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.<\/p> 17<\/small><\/span> The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, God, you will not despise.<\/p> 18<\/small><\/span> Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.<\/p> 19<\/small><\/span> Then will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar. Psalm 52 For the Chief Musician.
