Superscription
לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַֽל-הַגִּתִּית לִבְנֵי-קֹרַח מִזְמֽוֹר׃
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
Longing for the courts of the LORD
מַה-יְּדִידוֹת מִשְׁכְּנוֹתֶיךָ יְהוָה צְבָאֽוֹת׃
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
נִכְסְפָה וְגַם-כָּלְתָה׀ נַפְשִׁי לְחַצְרוֹת יְהוָה לִבִּי וּבְשָׂרִי יְרַנְּנוּ אֶל אֵֽל-חָֽי׃
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
גַּם-צִפּוֹר מָצְאָה בַיִת וּדְרוֹר׀ קֵן לָהּ אֲשֶׁר-שָׁתָה אֶפְרֹחֶיהָ אֶֽת-מִזְבְּחוֹתֶיךָ יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת מַלְכִּי וֵאלֹהָֽי׃
Yea, the sparrow hath found an 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.
אַשְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵי בֵיתֶךָ עוֹד יְֽהַלְלוּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם עֽוֹז-לוֹ בָךְ מְסִלּוֹת בִּלְבָבָֽם׃
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
עֹבְרֵי׀ בְּעֵמֶק הַבָּכָא מַעְיָן יְשִׁיתוּהוּ גַּם-בְּרָכוֹת יַעְטֶה מוֹרֶֽה׃
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
יֵלְכוּ מֵחַיִל אֶל-חָיִל יֵרָאֶה אֶל-אֱלֹהִים בְּצִיּֽוֹן׃
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִי הַאֲזִינָה אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶֽלָה׃
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
מָגִנֵּנוּ רְאֵה אֱלֹהִים וְהַבֵּט פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
כִּי טֽוֹב-יוֹם בַּחֲצֵרֶיךָ מֵאָלֶף בָּחַרְתִּי הִסְתּוֹפֵף בְּבֵית אֱלֹהַי מִדּוּר בְּאָהֳלֵי-רֶֽשַׁע׃
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
כִּי שֶׁמֶשׁ׀ וּמָגֵן יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים חֵן וְכָבוֹד יִתֵּן יְהוָה לֹא יִמְנַע-טוֹב לַֽהֹלְכִים בְּתָמִֽים׃
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אַֽשְׁרֵי אָדָם בֹּטֵחַ בָּֽךְ׃
O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
