1For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Your dwelling places, O LORD of hosts!1For the music director; according to the gittith style; written by the Korahites, a psalm. How lovely is the place where you live, O LORD who rules over all!
2My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.2I desperately want to be in the courts of the LORD's temple. My heart and my entire being shout for joy to the living God.
3The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, My King and my God.3Even the birds find a home there, and the swallow builds a nest, where she can protect her young near your altars, O LORD who rules over all, my king and my God.
4How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah.4How blessed are those who live in your temple and praise you continually! (Selah)
5How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion!5How blessed are those who find their strength in you, and long to travel the roads that lead to your temple!
6Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also covers it with blessings.6As they pass through the Baca Valley, he provides a spring for them. The rain even covers it with pools of water.
7They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before God in Zion.7They are sustained as they travel along; each one appears before God in Zion.
8O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah.8O LORD, sovereign God, hear my prayer! Listen, O God of Jacob! (Selah)
9Behold our shield, O God, And look upon the face of Your anointed.9O God, take notice of our shield! Show concern for your chosen king!
10For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.10Certainly spending just one day in your temple courts is better than spending a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the entrance to the temple of my God than live in the tents of the wicked.
11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.11For the LORD God is our sovereign protector. The LORD bestows favor and honor; he withholds no good thing from those who have integrity.
12O LORD of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!12O LORD who rules over all, how blessed are those who trust in you!
