| Verse | |
| 1. To the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts! | |
| 2. My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the Lord; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. | |
| 3. Even the sparrow has found a home, 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. | |
| 4. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You. Selah | |
| 5. Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage. | |
| 6. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools. | |
| 7. They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion. | |
| 8. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah | |
| 9. O God, behold our shield, And look upon the face of Your anointed. | |
| 10. For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. | |
| 11. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. | |
| 12. O Lord of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You! |
