| 1 | <> 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. |
