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 To the Overcomer upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable [are] thy habitations, O LORD of the hosts!2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing to the living God.3 Even the sparrow has found a house and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young upon thine altars, O LORD of the hosts, my King and my God.4 Happy [are] those that dwell in thy house; they shall continually praise thee. Selah.5 Happy [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee, in whose heart [are] thy ways,6 [who] passing through the valley of Baca, shall make it a well; the rain also shall fill the pools.7 They go forth in a great multitude; and in order, they shall see God in Zion.8 O LORD God of the 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 [outside of them]. I would 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 [unto us]; the LORD will give grace and glory; he will not withhold good from those that walk uprightly.12 O LORD of the hosts, happy [is] the man that trusts in thee.:
