To the chief Musician[H5329] upon Gittith[H1665], A Psalm[H4210] for the sons[H1121] of Korah[H7141]. How amiable[H3039] are thy tabernacles[H4908], O LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635]!
2
My soul[H5315] longeth[H3700], yea, even fainteth[H3615] for the courts[H2691] of the LORD[H3068]: my heart[H3820] and my flesh[H1320] crieth out[H7442] for the living[H2416] God[H410].
3
Yea, the sparrow[H6833] hath found[H4672] an house[H1004], and the swallow[H1866] a nest[H7064] for herself, where she may lay[H7896] her young[H667], even thine altars[H4196], O LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635], my King[H4428], and my God[H430].
4
Blessed[H835] are they that dwell[H3427] in thy house[H1004]: they will be still praising[H1984] thee. Selah[H5542].
5
Blessed[H835] is the man[H120] whose strength[H5797] is in thee; in whose heart[H3824] are the ways[H4546] of them.
6
Who passing[H5674] through the valley[H6010] of Baca[H1056] make[H7896] it a well[H4599]; the rain[H4175] also filleth[H5844] the pools[H1293].
7
They go[H3212] from strength[H2428] to strength[H2428], every one of them in Zion[H6726] appeareth[H7200] before God[H430].
8
O LORD[H3068] God[H430] of hosts[H6635], hear[H8085] my prayer[H8605]: give ear[H238], O God[H430] of Jacob[H3290]. Selah[H5542].
9
Behold[H7200], O God[H430] our shield[H4043], and look[H5027] upon the face[H6440] of thine anointed[H4899].
10
For a day[H3117] in thy courts[H2691] is better[H2896] than a thousand[H505]. I had rather[H977] be a doorkeeper[H5605] in the house[H1004] of my God[H430], than to dwell[H1752] in the tents[H168] of wickedness[H7562].
11
For the LORD[H3068] God[H430] is a sun[H8121] and shield[H4043]: the LORD[H3068] will give[H5414] grace[H2580] and glory[H3519]: no good[H2896] thing will he withhold[H4513] from them that walk[H1980] uprightly[H8549].
12
O LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635], blessed[H835] is the man[H120] that trusteth[H982] in thee.
