1 [For the choir director; on the [gittith]; a psalm by Korah's descendants.] Your dwelling place is lovely, O LORD of Armies! How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts! For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty!
2 My soul longs and yearns for the LORD's courtyards. My whole body shouts for joy to the living God. My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God. My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Even sparrows find a home, and swallows find a nest for themselves. There they hatch their young near your altars, O LORD of Armies, my king and my God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who live in your house. They are always praising you. [Selah] Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! Selah Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.
5 Blessed are those who find strength in you. Their hearts are on the road [that leads to you]. Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion. Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through a valley where balsam trees grow, they make it a place of springs. The early rains cover it with blessings. As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7 Their strength grows as they go along until each one of them appears in front of God in Zion. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
8 O LORD God, commander of armies, hear my prayer. Open your ears, O God of Jacob. [Selah] O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah Hear my prayer, LORD God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob.
9 Look at our shield, O God. Look with favor on the face of your anointed one. Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed! Look on our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
10 One day in your courtyards is better than a thousand [anywhere else]. I would rather stand in the entrance to my God's house than live inside wicked people's homes. For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 The LORD God is a sun and shield. The LORD grants favor and honor. He does not hold back any blessing from those who live innocently. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
12 O LORD of Armies, blessed is the person who trusts you. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you! LORD Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.
