How lovely are your dwellings,

My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD.
My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Yes, the sparrow has found a home,
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house.
How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs.
As they pass through the Valley of Baca (note: Or Valley of Poplars), they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools (note: Or with blessings).
They go from strength to strength.

LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer.
O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah
Behold, God our shield,
Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield.
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
