1How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD of Armies.1For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty!
2I long and yearn for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh cry out for the living God.2My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3Even a sparrow finds a home, and a swallow, a nest for herself where she places her young--near your altars, LORD of Armies, my King and my God.3Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young-- a place near your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4How happy are those who reside in your house, who praise you continually. Selah4Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.
5Happy are the people whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of springwater; even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings.6As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7They go from strength to strength; each appears before God in Zion.7They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
8LORD God of Armies, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob. Selah8Hear my prayer, LORD God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob.
9Consider our shield, God; look on the face of your anointed one.9Look on our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
10Better a day in your courts than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than live in the tents of wicked people.10Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11For the LORD God is a sun and shield. The LORD grants favor and honor; he does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity.11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
12Happy is the person who trusts in you, LORD of Armies!12LORD Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.
