Psalm 84 is attributed to the Sons of Korah and is one of the most beautiful hymns of the Bible which expresses a deep yearning for God's house and for God's presence. The psalmists say that their heart and flesh cry out for the living God. How lovely is your temple Lord... even sparrow and swallow think so... blessed are those that dwell in your house. The writer goes on saying blessed are those whose strength is in you and have set their heart on pilgrimage... though one goes through dry and harsh valley of Baca God transforms it into a place of springs and autumn rain... better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere... better is it to be the door keeper of the temple than to dwell in the tents of the wicked... for God is sun and shield... blessed is he who trusts in God!
