How lovely are Your adwelling places, O LORD of hosts!
2My asoul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the bliving God.
3The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even Your aaltars, O LORD of hosts, bMy King and my God.
4How ablessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are bever praising You. 1Selah.
5How blessed is the man whose astrength is in You, In 1whose heart are the bhighways to Zion!
6Passing through the valley of 1Baca they make it a 2spring; The aearly rain also covers it with blessings.
7They ago from strength to strength, 1Every one of them bappears before God in Zion.
8O aLORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O bGod of Jacob! Selah.
9Behold our ashield, O God, And look upon the face of bYour anointed.
10For aa day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11For the LORD God is aa sun and bshield; The LORD gives grace and cglory; dNo good thing does He withhold 1from those who walk 2uprightly.
12O LORD of hosts, How ablessed is the man who trusts in You!
