[To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. ]
Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at thy altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in thy house,
ever singing thy praise! [Selah]
Blessed are the men whose strength is in thee,
in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
As they go through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs;
the early rain also covers it with pools.
They go from strength to strength;
the God of gods will be seen in Zion.
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob! [Selah]
Behold our shield, O God;
look upon the face of thine anointed!
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
he bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does the LORD withhold
from those who walk uprightly.
O Lord of hosts,
blessed is the man who trusts in thee!
