1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־הַגִּתִּית לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמֹור׃

2 מַה־יְּדִידֹות מִשְׁכְּנֹותֶיךָ יְהוָה צְבָאֹות׃

3 נִכְסְפָה וְגַם־כָּלְתָה ׀ נַפְשִׁי לְחַצְרֹות יְהוָה לִבִּי וּבְשָׂרִי יְרַנְּנוּ אֶל אֵל־חָי׃

4 גַּם־צִפֹּור ׀ מָצְאָה בַיִת וּדְרֹור ׀ קֵן לָהּ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁתָה אֶפְרֹחֶיהָ אֶת־מִזְבְּחֹותֶיךָ יְהוָה צְבָאֹות מַלְכִּי וֵאלֹהָי׃

5 אַשְׁרֵי יֹושְׁבֵי בֵיתֶךָ עֹוד יְהַלְלוּךָ סֶּלָה׃

6 אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם עֹוז־לֹו בָךְ מְסִלֹּות בִּלְבָבָם׃

7 עֹבְרֵי ׀ בְּעֵמֶק הַבָּכָא מַעְיָן יְשִׁיתוּהוּ גַּם־בְּרָכֹות יַעְטֶה מֹורֶה׃

8 יֵלְכוּ מֵחַיִל אֶל־חָיִל יֵרָאֶה אֶל־אֱלֹהִים בְּצִיֹּון׃

9 יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים צְבָאֹות שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִי הַאֲזִינָה אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה׃

10 מָגִנֵּנוּ רְאֵה אֱלֹהִים וְהַבֵּט פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶךָ׃

11 כִּי טֹוב־יֹום בַּחֲצֵרֶיךָ מֵאָלֶף בָּחַרְתִּי הִסְתֹּופֵף בְּבֵית אֱלֹהַי מִדּוּר בְּאָהֳלֵי־רֶשַׁע׃

12 כִּי שֶׁמֶשׁ ׀ וּמָגֵן יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים חֵן וְכָבֹוד יִתֵּן יְהוָה לֹא יִמְנַע־טֹוב לַהֹלְכִים בְּתָמִים׃

13 יְהוָה צְבָאֹות אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם בֹּטֵחַ בָּךְ׃

1 How amiable are thy tabernacles,

O Jehovah of hosts!

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah;

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

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,

And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,

Even thine altars, O Jehovah 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 highways to Zion.

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

Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

7 They go from strength to strength;

Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

8 O Jehovah 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 Jehovah God is a sun and a shield:

Jehovah will give grace and glory;

No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 O Jehovah of hosts,

Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
