1 |
{To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts! -
|
2 |
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living łGod. -
|
3 |
Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she layeth her young, thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God. -
|
4 |
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be constantly praising thee. Selah. -
|
5 |
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, -- they, in whose heart are the highways. -
|
6 |
Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a well-spring; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings. -
|
7 |
They go from strength to strength: [each one] will appear before God in Zion. -
|
8 |
Jehovah, 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 stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness. -
|
11 |
For Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. -
|
12 |
Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that confideth in thee! -
