gittith.
Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
LordAlmighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of theLord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
LordAlmighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.
8 Hear my prayer,LordGod Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
9 Look on our shield,O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For theLordGod is a sun and shield;
theLordbestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
12 LordAlmighty,
blessed is the one who trusts in you.
