To the conductor, upon the Gittith. To the sons of Korah. A melody.1How beloved are your tabernacles, O LORD of Hosts.2My soul has longed and also finished for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh will sing to the living God.3The bird also has found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself in which she has set her young beside your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my king and my God.4Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they will still praise you. Selah.5Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, the highways set in their heart.6Those who pass through the valley of Baca set a spring there; blessings also enwrap the rain.7They walk from strength to strength; one is seen before God in Zion.8O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; listen, O God of Jacob. Selah.9Behold our shield, O God, and look upon the face of your anointed.10For a day in your courts is better than a thousand; I have chosen to stand in the house of my God rather than dwell in the tents of wickedness.11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives favor and glory; he will not withhold good from those who walk blamelessly.12O LORD of Hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
