1To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: My heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. Selah.
5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the ways of them.
6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; The rain also filleth the pools.
7They go from strength to strength, Every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
