Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.

Psalms 84
1¶ To the chief musician upon Gittith, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 2My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cries out for the living God. 3Yes, the sparrow has found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. 4Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. Selah. 5Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways of them. 6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also fills the pools. 7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appears before God. 8O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. 9Behold, O God our shield, and look on the face of your anointed. 10For a day in your 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. 11For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
