¹How amiable are thy tabernacles, O YHVH of hosts! ²My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of YHVH: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. ³Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O YHVH of hosts, my King, and my God. ⁴Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. ⁵Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. ⁶Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. ⁷They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. ⁸O YHVH God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, 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. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. ¹¹For YHVH God is a sun and shield: YHVH will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. ¹²O YHVH of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
