1: 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 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. Selah. |
|
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.
Selah. |
|
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. |
