Lyics1 HOW amiable are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longeth, yea even fainteth,
for the courts of the Lord:
my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young, even Thine altars,
O Lord of hosts! my King and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house;
they will be still praising Thee.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee,
in whose heart are the ways of them,
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;
the rain also filleth the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength;
every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8 O Lord God of hosts! hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob!
9 Behold, O God our shield; and look upon the face of Thine anointed.
10 For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand;
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than to 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 them that walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts! blessed is the man that trusteth in Thee.
