Thursday, August 3 : Psalms 84(83),3.4.5-6a.8a.11.
My soul yearns and pines for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest in which she puts her young? Your altars, O LORD of hosts, my king and my God! Blessed are they who dwell in your house! Continually they praise you.
Blessed the men whose strength you are!
They go from strength to strength. I had rather one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I had rather lie at the threshold of the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
