1 |
To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith By sons of Korah.` -- A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Yehovah of Hosts! |
2 |
My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Yehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God, |
3 |
(Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood,) Thine altars, O Yehovah of Hosts, My king and my God. |
4 |
O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. Selah. |
5 |
O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways are in their heart. |
6 |
Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director. |
7 |
They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion. |
8 |
O Yehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. |
9 |
Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed, |
10 |
For good is a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness. |
11 |
For a sun and a shield is Yehovah God, Grace and honour doth Yehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness. |
12 |
Yehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee. |
