[1] How amiable are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
[2] My soul longs, 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 an 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 they that 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: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
[9] Behold, 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.
