Blessed Is the Man Who Trusts in You 1How lovely are Your dwelling places, O Yahweh of hosts! 2My soul has longed and even [†]fainted for the courts of Yahweh; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. 3Even the bird has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she sets her young, At Your altars, O Yahweh of hosts, My King and my God. 4How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. [†]Selah. 5How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In [†]whose heart are the highways to Zion! 6Passing through the valley of [†]Baca they make it a [†]spring; The early rain also wraps it up with blessings. 7They go from strength to strength, [†]Each one of them appears before God in Zion. 8O Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah. 9See our shield, O God, And look upon the face of Your anointed. 10For better is a day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would choose to stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11For Yahweh God is a sun and shield; Yahweh gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold [†]from those who walk blamelessly. 12O Yahweh of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
