1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord:
3Yea, the sparrow hath found a house,
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:
5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;
6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;
7They go from strength to strength,
8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer:
9Behold, O God our shield,
10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.
11For the Lord God is a sun and shield:
12O Lord of hosts,
