1 For the choir director; (a)on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
How lovely are Your (A)dwelling places,
O Lord of hosts!
Tools
2
My (B)soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the (C)living God.
Tools
3
The bird also has found a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even Your (D)altars, O Lord of hosts,
(E)My King and my God.
Tools
4
How (F)blessed are those who dwell in Your house!
They are (G)ever praising You. (b)Selah.
Tools
5
How blessed is the man whose (H)strength is in You,
In (c)whose heart are the (I)highways to Zion!
Tools
6
Passing through the valley of (d)Baca they make it a (e)spring;
The (J)early rain also covers it with blessings.
Tools
7
They (K)go from strength to strength,
(f)Every one of them (L)appears before God in Zion.
Tools
8
O (M)Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O (N)God of Jacob! Selah.
Tools
9
Behold our (O)shield, O God,
And look upon the face of (P)Your anointed.
Tools
10
For (Q)a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Tools
11
For the Lord God is (R)a sun and (S)shield;
The Lord gives grace and (T)glory;
(U)No good thing does He withhold (g)from those who walk (h)uprightly.
Tools
12
O Lord of hosts,
How (V)blessed is the man who trusts in You!
