My rendition of Psalm 84. Thanks to the amplified Bible & other translations for their help.
How lovely is your house O Lord almighty!
My soul yearns & is homesick for the living room
of the Lord; my heart & my body cry out & sing
for joy to the God who is alive. I love hanging out
with you & each new day I'm excited to meet up
with you again! Even the birds feel right at home &
build their nests in your house-near your altar.
O Lord of the stars, my King & my God. Blessed
are those who live with you, who move in with you &
are in your presence. Those who are your roommates
will be singing & getting their dance on all day long.
Blessed is the man who has strength to travel on the road to God's city.
Passing through sad alleys, they make it a place of springs, like sprinklers
that water the green grass on warm summer days. The rain fills this dry land
with blessings. They gain more strength with every step, getting stronger
& stronger, until each of the travelers finally meets up with God in His city.
O Lord of all the stars of the sky, hear my prayer, listen to me oh God. Look
upon our leaders God, let us be your favorite ones.
One day in your living room is better than a ton somewhere else. I'd rather
be a maid in God's house than be spoiled & rich in the mansion of evil people.
Because God is a sun & shield; The Lord grants present grace & favor & future
heavenly bliss! He won't hold back on any goodness from those who walk in
the right direction. Oh Lord of all, including the stars, happy is the man who
leans on you & is confidently looking to you.
