For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
How {Or, lovely}amiable are thy tabernacles,
O Jehovah of hosts!
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah;
My heart and my flesh {Or, sing for joy}cry out unto the living God.
Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,

My King, and my God.

They will be still praising thee.
[Selah
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;
In whose heart are the highways to Zion.
Passing through the valley of {Or, balsam-trees Hebrew: Baca. See 2 Samuel 5:23}Weeping they make it a place of springs;
Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.
They go from strength to strength;
Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob. [Selah
{Or, behold our shield, O God}Behold, O God our shield,
And look upon the face of thine anointed.
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather {Or, stand at the threshold of &c.}be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield:
Jehovah will give grace and glory;
No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
O Jehovah of hosts,
Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
