1O Lord of hosts, how amiable are thy Tabernacles?
2My soul longeth, yea, and fainted for the courts of the Lord: for my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.
3Yea, 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.
4Blessed are they that dwell in thine house, they will ever praise thee. Selah.
5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy ways.
6They going through the valley of Baca, make wells therein: the rain also covereth the pools.
7They go from strength to strength, till every one appear before God in Zion.
8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer, hearken, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9Behold, O God, our shield, and look upon the face of thine Anointed.
10For 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.
11For 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.
12O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
