For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
[1] How lovely are your dwellings,Yahweh of Armies!
[2] My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh.
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
[3] Yes, the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young,
near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.
[4] Blessed are those who dwell in your house.
They are always praising you.
Selah. [5] Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
[6] Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs.
Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
[7] They go from strength to strength.
Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
[8] Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer.
Listen, God of Jacob.
Selah. [9] Behold, God our shield,
look at the face of your anointed.
[10] For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
[11] For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield.
Yahweh will give grace and glory.
He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
[12] Yahweh of Armies,
blessed is the man who trusts in you.

[1] How amiable H3039 are thy tabernacles, H4908 O Lord H3068 of hosts! H6635[2] My soul H5315 longeth, H3700 (NiphPerf) yea, even fainteth H3615 (QalPerf) for the courts H2691 of the Lord: H3068
My heart H3820 and my flesh H1320 crieth out H7442 (PielImpf) for the living H2416 God. H410
[3] Yea, the sparrow H6833 hath found H4672 (QalPerf) an house, H1004 and the swallow H1866 a nest H7064 for herself, where she may lay H7896 (QalPerf) her young, H667
Even thine altars, H4196 O Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 my King, H4428 and my God. H430
[4] Blessed H835 are they that dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) in thy house: H1004

[5] Blessed H835 is the man H120 whose strength H5797 is
in thee; In whose heart H3824 are the ways H4546 of them.
[6] Who passing H5674 (QalActPtc) through the valley H6010 of Baca H1056 (Ketiv) make H7896 (QalImpf) it a well; H4599
