1 How lovely are your dwellings,

Yahweh of Armies!

2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh.

My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home,

and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young,

near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house.

They are always praising you. Selah.

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,

who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs.

Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

7 They go from strength to strength.

Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

8 Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer.

Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.

9 Behold, God our shield,

look at 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 to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield.

Yahweh will give grace and glory.

He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

12 Yahweh of Armies,

blessed is the man who trusts in you.

1 Vir die musiekleier; op die Gittiet. Van die kinders van Korag. 'n Psalm.

2 Hoe lieflik is u woninge, o HERE van die leërskare!

3 My siel verlang, ja, smag na die voorhowe van die HERE; my hart en my vlees jubel uit tot die lewende God.

4 Selfs vind die mossie 'n huis en die swaweltjie 'n nes vir haar, waar sy haar kleintjies neerlê, naamlik u altare, HERE van die leërskare, my Koning en my God!

5 Welgeluksalig is hulle wat woon in u huis; hulle prys U gedurig. Sela.

6 Welgeluksalig is die mens wie se sterkte in U is, in wie se hart die gebaande weë is.

7 As hulle deur die Droë Laagte trek, maak hulle dit 'n fonteinland; ook oordek die vroeë reën dit met seëninge.

8 Hulle gaan van krag tot krag; elkeen van hulle sal verskyn voor God in Sion.

9 HERE, God van die leërskare, hoor my gebed; luister tog, o God van Jakob! Sela.

10 o God, ons skild, kyk en aanskou die aangesig van u gesalfde.

11 Want 'n dag in u voorhowe is beter as duisend; ek wil liewer by die drumpel staan in die huis van my God as om te woon in die tente van goddeloosheid.

12 Want die HERE God is 'n son en skild; die HERE sal genade en eer gee; Hy sal die goeie nie onthou aan die wat in opregtheid wandel nie. [ (Psalms 84:13) HERE van die leërskare, welgeluksalig is die mens wat op U vertrou! ]
