To the chief Musician upon Gittith
, A Psalm
for the sons
of Korah
. How amiable
are thy tabernacles
, O LORD
of hosts
!
My soul longeth
, yea, even fainteth
for the courts
of the LORD
: my heart
and my flesh
crieth out
for the living
God
.
Yea, 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
.
Blessed are they that dwell
in thy house
: they will be still praising
thee. Selah
.
Blessed is the man
whose strength
is in thee; in whose heart
are the ways
of them .
Who passing through the valley
of Baca
make
it a well
; the rain
also filleth
the pools
.
They go from strength
to strength
, every one of them in Zion
appeareth
before God
.
O LORD God
of hosts
, hear
my prayer
: give ear
, O God
of Jacob
. Selah
.
Behold, O God
our shield
, and look
upon the face
of thine anointed
.
For 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
.
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
.
O LORD of hosts
, blessed
is the man
that trusteth
in thee.
