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,
Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts,
My King, and my God.
 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:
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.
