¹ How amiable are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! ² My soul lingers, 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 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 Blessed are those 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: listen, O God of Jacob. Selah. ⁹ See, 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.
