[1]O Lord of hosts, how amiable are thy tabernacles!
[2]My soul longeth, yea, and fainteth for the courts of the Lord: for mine heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.
[3]Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest for her, where she may lay her young: even by thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
[4]Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will ever praise thee. Selah.
[5]Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy ways.
[6]They going through the vale of Baca, make wells therein: the rain also covereth the pools.
[7]They go from strength to strength, till every one appear before God in Zion.
[8]O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: hearken, O God of Jacob. Selah.
[9]Behold, O God, our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
[10]For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand other where: I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tabernacles of wickedness.
[11]For the Lord God is the sun and shield unto us: the Lord will give grace and glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
[12]O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
