| 1 | For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty! | |
| 2 | My soul yearns, 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 have her young--a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God. | |
| 4 | Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Selah | |
| 5 | Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. | |
| 6 | As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. | |
| 7 | They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. | |
| 8 | Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob. Selah | |
| 9 | Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one. | |
| 10 | 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. | |
| 11 | For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. | |
| 12 | O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you. | |
