1 How amiable are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2 My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cries out for the living God.
3 Yes, the sparrow has found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also fills the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appears before God.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look on the face of your anointed.
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
1 How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Jehovah of Hosts!
2 My soul longs, yea, is spent for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living Mighty God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; even Your altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they will still praise You. Selah
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is upon Your highways.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the early rain also covers it with blessings.
7 They go from strength to strength, appearing before God in Zion.
8 O Jehovah the God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Your anointed.
10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For Jehovah God is a sun and shield; Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk in integrity.
12 O Jehovah of Hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You!
