1How lovely is Your dwelling place,
2My soul longs, even faints,
3Even the sparrow has found a home,
4How blessed are those who dwell in Your house!
5Blessed are those whose strength is in You,
6As they pass through the Valley of Baca,84:6 Or Valley of Poplars
7They go from strength to strength,
8O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer;
9Take notice of our shield, O God,
10For better is one day in Your courts
11For the LORD God is a sun and a shield;
12O LORD of Hosts,
