1 |
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! --
|
2 |
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. --
|
3 |
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. --
|
4 |
Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. --
|
5 |
Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in whose heart [are] the ways [of them]. --
|
6 |
[Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. --
|
7 |
They go from strength to strength, [every one of them] in Zion appeareth 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 upon the face of thine anointed. --
|
10 |
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. --
|
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 trusteth in thee. --
