Psalm 84, The Joy of Worship
Psalm 84
How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.
Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
Look on our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
Lord Almighty,
blessed is the one who trusts in you.
verse 6: As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
Jesus, in Luke 6:38 said, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
When you have nothing, when you are dry, that is the time to give, the time to bless others. The refreshing rains always come, for God is faithful.
Verse 7: They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
Just walking towards God makes us stronger.
Isaiah 40:31 says this, “but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Verse 8 Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob.
Keep praying. You are never finished talking to God. Every prayer is a conversation to be continued.
When we don’t speak to someone in our life and we don’t spend time with them we become estranged from them. Don’t let that happen between you and God.
‘Hear my prayer’
It’s not ‘maybe God will hear my prayer’, but rather, ‘hear my prayer’ because I am your child through Christ. “Hear my prayer and answer me according to your will.”
‘Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;’
Remember that God is omnipotent the King of everything.
Then it says: ‘listen to me, God of Jacob.’
God of Jacob means that God is the faithful covenant keeper with his people. But God of Jacob also reminds us that Jacob means ‘heel catcher’ or ‘he deceives’ or ‘he schemes’.
Mid-way thru Jacob’s life he had his name changed by God to Israel which means ‘God prevails’ or ‘God fights’. When Jacob fought with God he had to be crippled in his own self-sufficiency.
When the psalmist addresses God as the God of Jacob instead of the God of Israel, it is a reminder that God is not finished with his transformative work in our lives.
Jacob’s life was a continual story of trials and tears until he wrestled with God one night. This story is in Genesis chapter 32.
‘Listen to me, God of Jacob’, brings to mind how God is drawing each one of us to obedience and faithfulness where we finally say, ‘not my will, but thy will be done’.
Verse 9: Look on our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
It is always good to pray for God’s protection especially when you are going on a journey.
‘your anointed one’ on whom we ask God to have favor was the king of Israel, but today it is Christ who is ‘the anointed one’. Today we ask God for favor in sharing the good news about Jesus Christ with others:
Mark 16:15 says, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."
May God give us favor is sharing the gospel of Christ.
Verse 10: Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
Would you trade a thousand days for one with God? A thousand days is almost 3 years. One profound day of encountering God is better than 1000 regular days. The one to a thousand ratio speaks to the qualitative value of time with God.
‘I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.’
A doorkeeper was basically a security guard and an usher. They guarded gates, opened and closed doors, and told worshipers where to go. They also stood at the threshold. He can’t enter, because he has to watch the door. But being at the doorway of the house of God is better than being in the tents of the wicked, which speaks of luxurious places but with wicked men.
The psalmist writes the words for us to sing that we would rather be in a humble, even unnoticed or insignificant spot in God’s house, rather than hanging out in tents with wicked people.
Verse 11: For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
‘For the Lord God is a sun’
God is our provider just as the sun nurtures life on earth. And our lives should revolve around God.
‘For the Lord God is a sun and shield’
God is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. -Psalm 18:30 and Proverbs 30:5
‘the Lord bestows favor and honor’
The word favor here is a Hebrew word for grace and grace has been defined as ‘unmerited favor’.
Somebody might ask you, “why do all these good things happen to you?” And even though you are smart, handsome or beautiful, and a really good person and feel lucky sometimes... None of those are the reason for the good things you have received from God. It is simply favor from God. His grace. Nothing you did earned it.
The word honor means respect and importance. One of the ten commandments is “honor your father and mother”. This means to respect them and hold them in high regard. And this is unconditional.
When the Lord bestows honor to us, he respects us and gives us importance as his children. To be in Christ, to be a Christian, is a glorious thing and very honorable. We are very honored to be God’s children. We have been adopted in Christ into the family of the King.
‘no good thing does he withhold’
It doesn’t say, ‘nothing does He withhold’, but ‘no good thing’. Romans 8:32 says, “He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?”
‘no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.’
Blameless means integrity which means truth. Being honest to God. Blameless people walk in the truth. Blameless does not mean perfection. Blameless means a truthful person who is moral in character. Blameless means someone who is living according to God’s commands. Rather than some sort of religious perfectionism, blameless people have wholehearted loyalty to God.
Verse 12 says: Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.
Trusting God is the foundation for a blessed life. There is nothing better than trusting God. Trusting God brings great joy into our lives. Happy is the person who completely trusts God.
Every worry or question I have, I can put into God’s hands knowing ”He’s got this” and he has got me. Trust God. Having a life blessed by trusting God is a life where I can be calm and at peace with a clear mind, undistracted and not anxious.
Having joy in worship, and in singing together takes us to a place of deeper trust in God. We worship God because we value God more than anything else and place our trust in him.
How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.
Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
Look on our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
Lord Almighty,
blessed is the one who trusts in you.
-Psalm 84 (NIV)

This message is called, 'The Joy of Worship'
We are God’s children, but God is in heaven. What do we do? We sing to God, we pray to him, we walk with him in careful obedience. And we do these things with our brothers and sisters.
Singing to God and about God is a gift that he has given us that brings great great joy.
Just try singing to God when you are sad, mad, scared, or anxious and see how it changes things.
There is something called ‘an attitude of gratitude’ which is a mindset of appreciation. Just singing to God, worshiping and praising him has a positive up-building effect on us. Gratitude fuels worship and worship cultivates gratitude. And the New Testament teaches us that when we sing together, we teach and admonish one another.
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” -Colossians 3:16
Psalm 84, verse 1:
How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty!
This psalm articulates the strong desire to worship God. The brothers that wrote this psalm capture the homesickness that we should all feel when we are not worshiping God together.
When we call God ‘Lord Almighty’, we are acknowledging that God is the King of everything and to be worshiped. God is not my co-pilot or the man upstairs, but Almighty God, The Lord of Hosts, The Lord of heaven’s armies’. God is worthy of our praise.
Verse 2:
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Has your soul yearned and fainted to be with God?
Has your heart and flesh cried out for God?
Have you ever been desperate for God?
Have you ever come to the end of your rope?
You’ve run out of patience and strength. You feel utterly frustrated and hopeless. These things are actually good. You have arrived at the time to worship.
We should all cultivate an appetite for worshiping God. The Bible says, ‘Taste and see that the Lord is good’- Psalm 34:8
Back to verse 2- ‘My soul yearns and even faints’
Have you ever desired God, sought God with the passion described here? When you are alone, do you sing and pray to God, just because you love God and want to fellowship with Him? Are we able to come to the end of our self-sufficiency, to daily discover our deep need for God?
verse 2 continuing- ‘my heart and my flesh cry out’
The desire to worship is physical and emotional. We don’t just worship God from our thoughts, but with our whole being including our bodies and our emotions.
If thousands of people gather to watch their team play and cheer so loudly that it is deafening, don’t you think that God deserves even more? When a group of men here went to the men’s breakfast a few months back in Chino, the packed room of men sang so loud that it almost seemed like the ceiling must have rattled... and it was wonderful.
continuing- ‘my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God’.
Unlike all the other so called gods, our God is the living God. He is alive, active, and close-by, always awake and attentive.
(Verse) 3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
Birds might seem insignificant, but this verse highlights how God cares for all of His creation. Jesus said this in Matthew 10:29: "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care."
‘The swallow finds a place at the temple to nest and have her young.’
This reminds us that we rest in Christ, who said in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." And these birds are a picture of how God takes care of the
weakest and most vulnerable people.
Psalm 84 verse 4 says:
Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.

Psalm 84 verse 4 says:
Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.
Blessed means ‘happy’. The psalmist reflects on the blessing of dwelling in God’s house, looking at the Temple in Jerusalem.
Today, God lives in His people. Today, dwelling in God’s house means living in His presence which is a blessing, a happy place. Before Christ, worshipers of God would travel up to the temple in Jerusalem, and the temple was called God’s house. Even though God is everywhere and lives in heaven, a temple was built as a sanctuary on earth where our God was continually worshiped.
But today Christians are the temple. And we gather with other Christians and worship God together.
Apostle Paul said this, “Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? -First Corinthians 3:16
‘They are Ever praising you’. This means continually praising God no matter what the circumstances.
In ancient Israel the Levites had the role of praising God in the temple, 24-7. Today, we do not have to limit ourselves to worshiping at church services only, but can also sing praises to God day and night outside of worship services.
Praising God with the family of God is a blessing and a vital source of joy, strength, and encouragement. When we sing together we encourage one another. And worshiping God releases blessings in our lives.
Verse 5 reads, ‘Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
Happy are the people who’s strength is in God. We need to rely on God’s strength rather than our own natural abilities. Having strength in God means depending on God. We need to rely on God’s strength, always and especially during times of difficulty.
The end of verse 5 says:
“Whose hearts are set on pilgrimage”
Pilgrimage means journey. Pilgrims go on a journey to a destination. Pilgrimage here means the highway, the going up to seek God. And The pathway to God is imprinted on the hearts of those whose strength is in God. And We keep our hearts on the journey to God through our songs.
But today Christians are the temple. And we gather with other Christians and worship God together.
Apostle Paul said this, “Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? -First Corinthians 3:16

verse 6: As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
Baka in Hebrew is associated with ‘weeping’ or sorrow. Some translations have ‘Valley of Weeping’ here.
“they make it a place of springs’ implies that this place didn’t have water.
Sometimes people call difficult seasons in life ‘dry times’. When there is a lot of sadness in your life, that can be a dry time. But it does not have to be.
God supplies water but we have to do something. What can we do when we turn in to a valley of weeping?
Dry times through a valley of weeping are transformed by faith. We dig blessings out of hardship by trusting God.
The valley of weeping represents trials, challenges, and difficult times when we are grieved and when we weep. We all will experience times of loss, times when we are sad.
And the valley of weeping can be a dry place, at least it can seem to start out that way. It does not feel good. We feel off balance. We feel exhausted and we experience confusion. Our identity might be changed. You can’t sleep at night and you can’t stay awake during the day. The valley of weeping. A dry place spiritually.
What do you do? The psalmist says “As they pass through the valley of baka which means weeping, they make it a place of springs.
The people on this journey, all believers, are people whose strength is in God. The valley of weeping is made into a place of springs by moving forward in the strength of God. Our faith grows during the trials of life and God develops perseverance in us.
In the midst of our trying times while we have set our hearts on God and are walking towards God, having perseverance developed in us, we begin to experience God’s blessings in the valley: refreshment, provision, and encouragement from brothers and sisters in Christ.
‘As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; The autumn rains also cover it with pools’
There is a principle that when we do something, by faith, God does more:
“they make it a place of springs’ implies that this place didn’t have water.

A doorkeeper was basically a security guard and an usher. They guarded gates, opened and closed doors, and told worshipers where to go. They also stood at the threshold. He can’t enter, because he has to watch the door. But being at the doorway of the house of God is better than being in the tents of the wicked, which speaks of luxurious places but with wicked men.

‘For the Lord God is a sun’
God is our provider just as the sun nurtures life on earth. And our lives should revolve around God.
‘For the Lord God is a sun and shield’
God is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. -Psalm 18:30 and Proverbs 30:5
‘the Lord bestows favor and honor’
The word favor here is a Hebrew word for grace and grace has been defined as ‘unmerited favor’.
