  • Psalm 84
    From the 1650 Scottish Metrical Psalter
    1 How lovely is thy dwelling-place,
    O Lord of hosts, to me!
    The tabernacles of thy grace
    how pleasant, Lord, they be!
    2 My thirsty soul longs veh'mently,
    yea faints, thy courts to see:
    My very heart and flesh cry out,
    O living God, for thee.
    3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out
    an house wherein to rest;
    The swallow also for herself
    hath purchased a nest;
    Ev'n thine own altars,* where she safe
    her young ones forth may bring,
    O thou almighty Lord of hosts,
    who art my God and King.
    4 Blessed are they in thy house that dwell,
    they ever give thee praise.
    5 Blessed is the man whose strength thou art,
    in whose heart are thy ways:
    6 Who passing thorough Baca's vale,
    therein do dig up wells;
    Also the rain that falleth down
    the pools with water fills.
    7 So they from strength unwearied go
    still forward unto strength,
    Until in Zion they appear
    before the Lord at length.
    8 Lord God of hosts, my prayer hear;
    O Jacob's God, give ear.
    9 See God our shield, look on the face
    of thine anointed dear.
    10 For in thy courts one day excels
    a thousand; rather in
    My God's house will I keep a door,
    than dwell in tents of sin.
    11 For God the Lord's a sun and shield:
    he'll grace and glory give;
    And will withhold no good from them
    that uprightly do live.
    12 O thou that art the Lord of hosts,
    that man is truly blest,
    Who by assured confidence
    on thee alone doth rest.

    Wonderful words, melody and singing. Does anyone know the name of the melody, and which church is singing this?

    The tune is called ‘Harrington’ but I cannot find an accompanied version of it
