1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of Heaven’s 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 I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the LORD. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully 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 the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young at a place near your altar, O LORD of Heaven’s 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 What joy for those who can live in your house, always singing your praises. Interlude 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 What joy for those whose strength comes from the LORD, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. 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 When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe 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 They will continue to grow stronger, and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem. 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 of Heaven’s Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, O God of Jacob. Interlude 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 O God, look with favor upon the king, our shield! Show favor to the one you have anointed. 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 A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. 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 For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. 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 Heaven’s Armies, what joy for those who trust in you. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you! LORD Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.
