| 1 | To the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. 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. | |
| 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! | |
