Then he expresses his admiration for the grace of God and confidence in his protection. Here are five verses related to the themes of Psalm 84:
Psalm 27:4: "One thing I ask the Lord, is what I seek: that I can live in the house of the Lord every day of my life, to contemplate the goodness of the Lord and seek his orientation in his temple." This verse expresses the same desire of the psalmist in Psalm 84 of dwelling in God's house and enjoying his presence.
Psalm 85:10: "Mercy and truth have met; justice and peace kissed." The Psalm of Psalm 84 describes God's goodness and mercy, and this verse in Psalms 85 also emphasizes God's mercy.
Psalm 118:8: "It is better to trust the Lord than to trust in man." The psalmist of Psalm 84 expresses his confidence in God and his protection. This verse in Psalms 118 reinforces this confidence in God rather than relying on human beings.

Psalm 146:5: "How happy is he who has the God of Jacob to help him and whose hope is in the Lord, his God." This verse highlights the happiness that the psalmist of Psalm 84 finds in the presence of God and in his protection and help.
