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. |
