1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
-
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
-
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
-
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
-
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
-
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
-
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth 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 upon the face of thine anointed.
-
10 For a day in thy 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 trusteth in thee.

- 1 How lovely are Your dwelling places, O LORD of hosts!
- 2 My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
- 3 The bird also has found a 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 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah.
- 5 How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion!
- 6 Passing 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, Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
- 8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah.
- 9 Behold our shield, O God, And look upon the face of Your anointed.
- 10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
- 11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
- 12 O LORD of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
