To the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. [fn] A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts! ² My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. ³ Even the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, Where she may lay her young-- Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, My King and my God. ⁴ Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You.Selah ⁵ Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage. ⁶ As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools. ⁷ They go from strength to strength;Each one appears before God in Zion. [fn]

⁸ O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob!Selah ⁹ O God, behold our shield, And look upon 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 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 those who walk uprightly. ¹² O LORD of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
