How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth
for the courts of the Lord:
my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
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.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:
they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee:
in whose heart are the ways of them:
Who passing through the valley of Baca, make it a well:
the rain also filleth the pools.
They go from strength to strength:
every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer:
give ear, O God of Jacob.

Behold, O God our shield:
and look upon the face of thine anointed.
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.
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.
O Lord of hosts:
blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
