Psalm 84 opens with an expression of longing for the sanctuary: "How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!" The address to God as "Lord of hosts" (emphasizing God's power and command over armies) contrasts with the intimate focus on God's dwelling place. The term "lovely" (yedidut, related to "beloved") expresses affection and desire.
