To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm ∥ for the sons of Korah.

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.

6Who 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.

[∥ ] Or, of.

[∥ ] Or, of mulberry trees make him a well, &c.

[† ] Heb. covereth.

[∥ ] Or, from company to company.

[† ] Heb. I would choose rather to sit at the threshold.

[* ] Ps. 34. 9, 10.

[* ] Ps. 2. 12.
