International Standard VersionEnglish Standard Version
1How lovely are your dwelling places, LORD of the Heavenly Armies.1How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!
2I desire and long for the Temple courts of the LORD. My heart and body sing for joy to the living God. 2My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
3Even the sparrow found a house for herself and the swallow a nest to lay her young at your altar, LORD of the Heavenly Armies, my king and God.3Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.
4How happy are those who live in your Temple, for they can praise you continuously. Interlude4Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! Selah
5How happy are those whose strength is in you, whose heart is on your path.5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6They will pass through the Baca Valley where he will prepare a spring for them; even the early rain will cover it with blessings.6As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.
7They will walk from strength to strength; each will appear before God in Zion.7They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.
8LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, hear my prayer! Listen, God of Jacob! Interlude8O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9God, look at our shield, and show favor to your anointed,9Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!
10for a day in your Temple courts is better than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather stand at the entrance of God's house than live in the tent of wickedness.10For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD grants grace and favor; the LORD will not withhold any good thing from those who walk blamelessly.11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.
12LORD of Heavenly Armies, how happy are those who trust in you.12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!
