1How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Armies!
1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm.
2My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
2Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
3Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, LORD of Armies, my King, and my God.
3Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
4Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.
4Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
5Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
6Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
6Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
7They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
7Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
8LORD, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.
8Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
9Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
9I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.
10For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
10Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
11For the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
11Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
12LORD of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
12Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
