1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O יהוה of hosts! 2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of יהוה: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living El. 3Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O יהוה of hosts, my King, and my Elohim. 4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. 5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. 7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before Elohim. 8O יהוה Elohim of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O Elohim of Jacob. Selah. 9Behold, O Elohim our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. 10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Elohim, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11For יהוה Elohim is a sun and shield: יהוה will give favour and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 12O יהוה of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
