1For the choir director: on the Gittith. A psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, LORD of Hosts. 1To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2I long and yearn for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh cry out for the living God. 2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3Even a sparrow finds a home, and a swallow, a nest for herself where she places her young-- near Your altars, LORD of Hosts, my King and my God. 3Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4How happy are those who reside in Your house, who praise You continually. Selah 4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5Happy are the people whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. 5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of springwater; even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings. 6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7They go from strength to strength; each appears before God in Zion. 7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8 LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob. Selah 8O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9Consider our shield, God; look on the face of Your anointed one. 9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10Better a day in Your courts than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather be at the door of the house of my God than to live in the tents of wicked people. 10For 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.
11For the LORD God is a sun and shield. The LORD gives grace and glory; He does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity. 11For 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.
12Happy is the person who trusts in You, LORD of Hosts! 12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
