|
1 |
How lovely is Your
tabernacle,
O LORD of hosts!
|
|
|
2 |
My soul longs, yes,
even faints
For the courts of the LORD;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
|
|
3 |
Even the sparrow has
found a home,
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 those
who dwell in Your house;
They will still be praising You. Selah
|
|
5 |
Blessed is the man
whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
|
|
6 |
As they pass through
the Valley of Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with pools.
|
|
7 |
They go from
strength to strength;
Each one appears before God in Zion.
|
|
8 |
O LORD God of hosts,
hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
|
|
9 |
O God, behold our
shield,
And look upon the face of Your anointed.
|
|
10 |
For a day in Your
courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than 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 those who walk uprightly.
|
|
12 |
O LORD of hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
